About Real Deal Brazil Brisa Ventilated Recycled Tarp
Now you can have your cool and unheat it, too!Our wide-brimmed Hollywood-star Original recycled-tarp hat, a very cool thing, can nonetheless get a touch hot at times. That heavy cotton canvas fabric will trap some heat if you if you don't take your hat off and let your noggin breathe every once in a while!So, over the last few years, we've tried several different approaches toward creating a hat with ventilated sides, still very much based around our signature recycled truck tarp, yet offering heat-relief for steamy climates.

But unlike traditional burlap, this stuff isn't scratchy, or itchy. It makes for a pretty comfy hat fit.Burlap itself is an organic material, though seriously tough stuff, made from such fibrous plants as jute or sisal (the same hardy materials often found in the base of outdoor rugs).
