At 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.

I love this hat! Fits and feels great and looks even better. I always get compliments when I wear it and I had 2 friends order one since I purchased mine. Shipping took about 3 days so easy transaction and well worth the investment. This hat will last longer than me.

I have bought 4 hats, two wallets, and 1 organizer prior to this order.
I bought my first hat In Ruidoso New Mexico and love them. a few have blown off off the boat and I had to jump into the water to retrieve. Well worth the dives in.

My husband received his original floppy hat as a gift. This is the third one he has owned. He wears it everyday and loves it. The second one was not as heavy a fabric as the first one. Living in Florida and sweating in it everyday leaves no option but to wash it, which I know is not recommended. It's worth it though even if I have to purchase one every year.

Shipping took longer than anticipated, but really glad I've held out and waited the extra weeks
Well worth it

This hat is amazing. Light weight feels great. I think I'm going to get my wife one too. Such a great way to up cycle.
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.
