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 4th hat I have purchased. I love to gift these hats to family and friends because I love the uniqueness of each one and the personal touch you can make with them once you have them.

love this hat. I wear it every day. I will say they run a size large. I wear a 7 and bought a med. it was way too big for me but fit my neighbor perfectly. I could have returned it with no questions but the price is so reasonable I decided to gift it and buy a small. You guys are great, keep selling such a good product. thanks.

I was attending an ECU business club meeting years ago - I mean at least 10-12 years ago. Anyway the door prize was The Real Deal Brazil hat. I just kind of threw it back in my closet as I lived there in Greenville and worked at the university. Now I have retired and moved to the mountains of east TN - Jonesborough, TN. What a great place to wear my hat and believe me no one else has one like it. I wore it this past weekend (Sept 20th) while camping at Roan Mtn State Park and had several compliments. I'm so glad the hat moved with me. I love it all over again.

I absolutely love my hat. It's very light weight and I love that there's a wire in the brim for keeping it in the shape I want. I work in the trades and wear it every time I don't have to wear my hard hat at work. It is not too hot to wear at all in the heat of the day in 100 plus deg heat here in the desert. Grease oil and dirt doesn't matter with this hat and only makes it better. It does a great job of shedding water off of it in the rain. I big plus is that I keep getting compliments on my hat and after owning for several months I would definitely buy another without question if something were to ever happen to it.

I bought this as a gift for someone special to me. He had another one previously and loved it. His hat had gotten worn out after several years of use, so he needs a new one. It doesn’t disappoint.

I bought this for my husband after he took over my Tarp Hat on a trip to Belize - he was jealous of the comfort and packability on that trip! Now he has his own and he loves it. He also waterproofed it and enjoys wearing it in a light rain to keep his head and shoulders dry. Looks great, fits fantastic.

Smooth and just as expected

I bought so many things for my hubs through the years. So many. This hat is his favorite. He talks about it to anyone that will listen. It’s so sturdy. He sunburns easy. This hat protects his face and ears. Plus you can leave it outside...stomp on it...run it over..spill cranberry juice on it...it’s as good as new.

This is the second tarp hat my husband has bought, the last one lasted 12 years, and got lost. He wore it to work every day in Florida. These hats are amazing!!

Purchased a hat years ago from this company and it lasted so we'll for many years, I'm buying a new one only because I lost the last one
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.
