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.

Happy with the entire process

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

Easy ordering, in fact it came earlier than expected.

This is my summer outdoors activities hat and I really enjoy it. I wear a 7-3/4 fitted hat size and the XL fits to the airy side. I like the extra space as it allows for movement on the head like a heliostat. I fitted a chinstrap made from a leather bootlace I had lying around and it works a trick to keep it from blowing off in the wind. I have a Cuba Libre as well and there is a weight difference in the fabric between the two with this one being lighter, but your mileage may vary. I have removed the non-functional patches on it as they added a weird twist in the brim that I couldn't get to even out, but that was no big deal, 20 minutes and a seam ripper had me squared away. I've worn this in the wind, rain, 100+ temps, and I have yet to find any issues. Wet the thing down and you have your own private evaporative cooler, just make sure if you're on a boat you've got a good hold of it cuz they sink like rocks. If I ever need another, I'll get the exact same thing.

I sent email that I was not happy about receiving gold addition hats instead of original. No response was ever given. I am along time customer very disappointed.

Obsessed with these hats. Love them. Have had one for over 5 years. It’s been on many an expedition, incl. internationally. It’s been beat to “heck” and back and just gets better looking all the time. My second just arrived. Sharp, fits well. Adventure awaits.

Product arrived as advertised and in perfect order. Online order status features could be enhanced to prevent unnecessary emails / calls to customer service. Shipping was delayed on my hat due to high demand (it's a fantastic product, so I understand), but I had no way of knowing. After an email, I got the answer, but could have figured that out in a fraction of the time with a more robust order tracking system.

Very "Real Deal", I had a question but called them after hours and left a message. Realdealbrazil called me first thing in the morning. I was bedazzled. Your team is definitely 5⭐. Thank you all and keep up the great work.

What a fantastic hat! Everyone who’s seen it has been jealous.

Great product & company! They shipped quickly & the hat was even better than I thought it would be.

made my son happy for fathers day
Christopher B - 06/25/2019
I already owned one of these, but it was too tight. I recommend ordering a size up for safety. However - these things are magnificent. They look and feel amazing, wonderfully durable, perfect for any activity in the sun, couldn’t have a higher recommendation. Fantastic product, will definitely buy more in the future.

Love RDB - I've had a tarp hat for years and would recommend this product to anyone.
Paul A - 02/01/2019
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!

Real Deal Brazil is an amazing company to do business with. Fair pricing, prompt shipping, and Customer Service that helped me determine the correct hat size to order. Plus, I now bear a striking resemblance to Woody Harrelson! Count me among the very satisfied customers.

It's a pretty cool looking hat with a great concept by reusing the cargo material.

The product was recommended from a friend. I ordered directly from your website, which was a smooth transaction. Would purchase again if need to purchase a new replacement.
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.
