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.

Found at a store in Florida in 2014 have been using the same hat for the past 5 years from Florida to the deserts of Iraq and Qatar to the heat of afghan. Used currently on the farm in TN. This hat can easily be reshaped If put in a suitcase This hat is rock solid all you have to do to take care of it, is put on your head.
Medium Real Deal Tarp Hat
I like this version better than the original as stated in my previous post.
The Original Real Deal Brazil Tarp Hat
Love the product. I have the original and use almost daily on the farm in the summer and it has held up for about 4 years now. I have taken all over the world with me wherever I go from desert to the hills of Tennessee. I bought the new one for the girlfriend because She kept wearing mine. I am jealous of hers due to a wider brim. I have also bought the floppy hat in a large but it is to big on my head so I don’t wear as much. So if your reading this and have one of the originals go with a size smaller on the floppy hat. Great product thank you for that. The pic is of the original from 4 years ago.
