A few years back, Mr. P., as we affectionately call the founder of our little Greenville, N.C., company, was traveling along the coast of his beloved Brazil when he spied something intriguing in one of the local markets there: Wide-brimmed hats handcrafted out of wonderfully weathered old cotton canvas, with heavy stitching, shifts in color, fraying, stains, rips, punctures, patches and even occasional ink marks. Mr. P. immediately began inquiring about the unusual hats, learning that their material was actually old canvas tarps discarded by Brazilian trucking companies after lengthy use as protection for freight. A romantic in the broadest sense of the word, Mr. P. was instantly as hooked by the story as he had been by the hats themselves.

I had so many compliments on my hat (lost in the lake) that I had to get another. I would like to see a version of the travel card holder (Teresina) with just a zipper pouch on one side to hold cards on one side, and passport, pen and misc stuff in the zipper side.

I needed a hat that I didn't need to worry about damaging the shape of, and needed a durable travel bag.

I found your product online a long time ago. Back when they were under $30! It's the best hat I've ever had and I'll be buying from RDB for as long as you are in business.
Medium Real Deal Tarp Hat
I've been buying these hats for a long time. I absolutely love them. This will be my 3rd one. I wear them in the beating Florida sun about 300+ days a year - work and play. I've gotten everything you can think of on them and hand washed them countless times. With all that, it takes me years to wear one out. You will not find a tougher, more comfortable or reasonably priced hat anywhere.
Medium Cuba Libre
Really well made hat, as are all Real Deal Brazil's hats. Unfortunately, this one runs on the large size. It does have velcro to adjust it, but by the time I made it small enough to fit, it poked way out in the back. I'd recommend ordering the size down.
