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 purchased a Real Deal Brasil hat years ago and have taken it with me all over the world to five continents. From working with orphaned orangutans in Borneo to spending time with the Bushmen of the Kalihari my hat has served me well all along the way. Alas time marches on and it's time for a refresh. I head to Dubai next Friday so I hope it arrives in time for the adventure.

I had previously purchased a different style hat and really liked the quality. The uniqueness and recycling aspects were also appealing.

Extra Large Floppy Travel Hat
Perfect fit and it looks amazing. Be sure to cover it with bees wax to bead off water and to protect it.
Floppy Travel Hat
Awesome hat. The floppy hat is my third RDB hat. They all each have their own character and look. I had to add the floppy to my collection cause I wanted a hat to cover my ears more from sun burn. I’ve put bees wax on all my hats to water proof and protect them. Two thumbs up on the floppy
