About this CompanyAt Real Deal Brazil, We're all about the tarp
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.

This is the best hat! Everyone loves my husband’s so much, he’s given it away right off his head! Time for a new one and one for my son.

High quality hat. My fiancé lost his while traveling and was so distraught after having worn it for years that I purchased him a new one. The design is a little different than the last one and he’s not as much of a fan but he still loves the hat and will hopefully have it for years to come! A little pricey for what it is but the heart wants what it wants.

Good experience!

I get so many compliments on his hats. I’m on my third or fourth time in over 20 years, even before zombie land made it popular power just don’t wear these in the water because they get kind of heavy in sink easy! That was my sacrifice to the water gods

Not as good as the first one I bought. This time it had some weird stitching over patches that looked WRONG. I had to remove the stitching with a seam ripper, took about 30 min. The hat still wasn't as good as the first one. I like the patches over the holes, just don't like weird unnecessary stitching over them. Also it looks like this one was put together with less pride. For what I received, it should have cost half of what I paid.

You can read it in my review. Too much money for a hat that was not made with any pride. Unnecessary stitches over patches that looked terrible, had to be removed with a ripper. Took me about 30 min. Patch was fine, random crappy stitching over it was bad. Shape of hat was off.

I think that this hat would be even more awesome if it can have customized with logos or something similar.

If needed, will keep hat on secure.

Took longer then expected. Hat is a little tight but I hope it will stretch over time.

I would love to leave an awesome review about how I just love my new hat. But I can’t. I haven’t received it. The site says 3-4 weeks, but its over six weeks now, and the gal on the phone said it’s another two weeks… You need to either stop taking orders for a product you don’t have, or let customers know up front a realistic shipping date. Also, your track order function on your site dies not query a database… you can type any random characters and get the “we have received your order” message

Sizing is good, runs just a tad big. Still comfortable (he tells me).

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
