    Highly unlikely. Most allergies to animals is due to their dander. Leather has no dander. It's possible to have an allergy to the treatment or chemicals used to tan the leather.

    Certainly could happen because of the dyes or silicone treatment on leather. On the synthetic it too could be a possibility especially an IWB against the skin.
