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.

Have had two RDB hats in the past, they not only fit my head(big hats are hard to find), they are tough and durable.

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 ordered one for my daughter but the one I got had bold black lettering on the brim, hence the 4 stars. However, I contacted the company and I was able to return/exchange for another hat. I received it quickly. Thanks Real Deal!

I have bought and rebought this hat whenever I wear it out. I fold it into a tricorn and use it with my pirate persona and as everyday wear. This is my fifth hat, I think, and this time I'm buying one for my son, as well.
Product Choice
Originally, I liked it in Zombieland. Now the Real Deal Brazil folded into a tricorn has become a recognizable part of my pirate persona.

Easy Peasy.
Product Choice
Because it is a simple hat that is not trying to be something other than a hat.
09/03/2020
The hat is simple, and that makes it easy to wear wherever you need to be. It is not trying to be anything other than a hat that keeps the sun off your face and your head cool. They squish flat so they are easy to keep where you need them.

The person I purchased it for has had one previously for years and it’s time to replace 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.

Needed item, and your product is cool.
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.
