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.

My 2nd and sadly will be my last RDB hat. My hat came in with 5 patches. It looked ratty not rugged. With careful work I was able to remove 4 of them. The tiny damage found underneath was easy to repair and I have more of the look of my original RDB hat. Too much work required for "new" at. My next hat will be bought new and worn down naturally. It will a decent work and fishing hat but too rough to be acceptable at a barbque.

Overall so far shopping experience has been good. Why did I deduct 1 star? Site can be a little hard to navigate and a couple of pages would not load (I think photo files were slowing pages down). Hopefully everything else will go smoothly.

I received an original Tarp Hat, not a Gold Edition.

Love the combo. Hers fits perfectly and mine is a replacement for the original.

I’ve had my trifold real deal wallet for about 5 years now, and it still looks great! It holds all my cards and money and will probably last forever. I’m thinking about trying the bifold wallet next, or just buying it as a spare since the one I have is so durable.

This is the second Cuba Libre I have bought directly from realdeal.com. the first one is made from a much heavier canvas than this one. So much so that had I bought from a third party retailer I would belive it to be counterfeit. Also, the plastic brim material is of thinner gauge. I have bought my dad 2 original style hats over the years and they are made with the heavier canvas. BOTH hats use an inferior velcro on the back. It wears out almost immediately. The hat needs adjusted frequently as it stretches with wear, shrinks when you wash it. My new hat is only maybe 2mo old and I have to sew it, making it unadjstable, like my original hat. These hats wear quickly, needing frequently sewn and patched. I expressed my concern to customer service and received a cookie cutter response Please see attached images supporting my above review. Old hat on the left, new, right. It can barely support its own weight.

Great hat for the beach, the Hat Haich Wind Strap is a must have accessory.

The Real Deal Brazil Customer Service personnel were so helpful. I needed to swap my hat for a different size and because of a travel deadline they shipped my replacement hat on ahead to my destination so that it would be waiting for me when I arrived. Thank you for your great customer service!

I bought matching Brisa Ventilated Hats for my wife and I to wear on a trip to Florida. We love them! We wore them all day long, the Brisa Ventilated Hats kept the sun off our faces and the mesh sides kept our heads cool. I added a Hat Hitch Wind Strap to both hats by putting metal eyelets (grommets) on the brim close to where the brim meets the hat band - worked great!

The older I get the more I hate carrying a purse. This wallet is the perfect solution. It is the perfect size to fit all the things I need to carry including my oversized phone. The wrist strap really comes in handy and it is made to be strong and secure. You will not have to worry about it breaking or coming undone. The zippers are high quality and smooth. This wallet is all around good looking and made really well. I can’t say enough about how much I love this wallet.

This is my third real deal Brazil hat but my first floppy. One, I died and waxed to waterproof it, loaned it to my wife and she lost it. Ugh! I hope it’s in our beach gear. So I purchased another wire-brim one to replace it and wore it proudly for the past three years. Just got the floppy a month ago and love it! What I really love is that it comes in an extra extra large to fit over my dreadlocks! Very few hats of this style come that large.

I'm bald, a rural carrier in Florida and needed a new hat. My RDB not only looks amazing, but feels amazing too. It's extremely comfortable and I can wear it all day without really even knowing it's there. I ordered a size that was in stock and shipping was really fast. I like mine so much, I'll be ordering another soon. Be prepared for a ton of compliments too!

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.

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.
