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.

Whe have purchased multiple tarp hats , El Cubano, back packs, wallet and belt from RDB. They are functional, one of a kind fashion my son and I both love. And since my son's tarp hats keep getting stolen or "borrowed" apparently lots of people like the look.

The company has only had to replace one item due to a construction issue over the 8 years we have been buying items across the product line. They are quick to respond to questions or concerns and we love the form and function of all their products.

The perfect hat for any occasion — solid construction, comfortable and secure fit, and it’s always the coolest looking hat in the group

Easy experience

I love it! Have already had posative comments, from random people, about it while wearing it around town. I tell them what it is, the story of how it came to be and where to get one.

Good experience would have liked a way to track the delivery, but I'm pretty sure I received it within 10 days. Love the hat!

Awesome hat. I've had mine for 7-8 years now. It has been through everything, raft trips, backpacking, hunting, rain, snow, wind, mosquitos, etc. I have to buy a new one because my 15-year-old son adopted mine on recent backpacking trip. He thinks it's the coolest thing ever and he doesn't really like "cool" things.

Couldn’t be happier with the hat. Lightweight and durable... but still cool. Best thing I could’ve done to deal with the Texas sun.

This hat fits great and looks good too!!! It was shipped flat, but it shaped back up well (can't say that about the 2nd hat that I bought). Would buy this one again!

Great hat! After carefully following the instructions on how to select the size to order, my noggin measured in between large/x-large. I ordered the x-large. When it arrived I found it was too big. Followed the instructions for an exchange and two weeks later was in business with a very nicely fitting large tarp hat. Bonus - I like the more mustard brown color of the large more than the grayish color of the x-large. Moral of the story, follow the instructions the nice people at RDB put up on the interwebs. I believe they want you to have a good experience. Word - colors vary. As far as the hat itself, I like it. A nice yet subtle change from the Drover style I usually wear. Once I get the brim shaped more to my liking the hat will be noticeably different. The reason for only four stars? I've only had the hat one day. So far shaping the brim is coming along but needs more work. Also, I'd like to treat this hat with beeswax to make it a little more water repellant. No telling how that may change the color. Hope this helps. I'd buy from these guys again. Gotta go - I hear zombies...

Love my hat. Second one I've bought.
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.
