The Real Deal items are made in Brazil of recycled canvas tarpaulins from cargo trucks used for transporting goods.  Each hat and bag is truly one-of-a-kind as no two are the same.  Each has its own unique character.  Made from various colors of tarp, they may have patches, seams, holes, or even Portuguese writing.  They are hand sewn by Brazilian villagers and reflect the true craftsmanship of the locals.
