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.

Because I’d bought it before and loved it, and when my old one gave up the ghost after five years, I immediately wanted to replace it.

I saw this hat while on vacation. The 24” was a bit snug and the 25” was too big. IF you can send me a hat that measures maybe 24 1/4” ... that would be great!
X-Large Real Deal Tarp Hat
My new hat is amazing and the fit (thanks to advice I received from Real Deal Brazil) is perfect. Granted, it will likely not make me the accomplished actor Woody Harrelson is, but I’m still very satisfied with my recent purchase!

Originally chose this company because of what they do for indigenous families in Brazil. Lost my first hat and bought a second because it was the best hat i ever owned.

My wife got one 5 years ago, used it EVERY day, traveled to over 30 states, 9 countries and two continents, and it finally became threadbare and broke. She wanted and needed another since it lasted so long and was so unique. Best investment ever!
