These Fidel Tarp Caps have been made in Brazil by friends of ours, They live in Amazonas on the edge of the rainforest and their family wear these tarp hats day in day out, they are made from recycled tarpaulins from open cargo trucks that run from Amazonas North west to the south of Brazil along thousands of miles of unmade red dust laden tracks with rain, sun & dust aging the material in a way that no factory could ever replicate. After which the material is washed and prepared ready to be made into "probably" the best original Brazilian tarp hats around.

This Fidel Cap is our take on the Dictators own, its got the distressed look from recycled Brazilian truck tarps, each hat may well have one or two patches on it or markings, each one has a unique story printed in the crown of the hat giving you the run down on the Amazonas Tarp Company- make sure you get a genuine Amazonas Tarp Hat ! look for the history in the crown.

All of the Amazonas Castro caps have Solid Brass eyelets that will not rust or tarnish in the European weather along with being Re-Waterproofed so the water just beads off unlike cheaper versions you might see in the marketplace.

So all of the hats have seen more weather than most of us might see in a lifetime and do not need any looking after and are ready for their next job of keeping the elements off of you whilst looking rather cool at the same time. They are fantastic hats so grab one and Viva the revolution

I wear this hat for work. Its great as I can still wear ear defenders and it keeps the sun out of my eyes.

Finally found the perfect hat

I found the hat Ive always been looking for and purely by chance. I bought the Castro Military Cap from the Eden Project in Cornwall. It was a really good price very well made and something completely different from everything else Ive seen. Every one is unique which I love. I actually bought another one when I got home in the next size down but they both fit perfectly because of the adjustable strap. I love the used weathered look and the colour is perfect. My wife says I have too many hats but you can never have too many in my opinion. Ive got my eye on the Tarp bags as well so watch this space. Loving the business concept of recycling the Tarp from trucks. Top idea.

Dont be run of the mill

I have to admit I already have the baseball cap which has been much admired. I decided to get the Castro cap as I felt that it was even more different to the run of the mill hats. Now I need a hat as I am bald so in the summer months if I am out I will wear a hat. What could be better than this unusual cap. The only problem is that people ask where I got it from - so if I am not careful these caps will be common. But I love it. I loved the baseball cap but I may actually prefer this one. Time will tell BUT in the meantime I will stand out from the crowd

Marvellous

I love Tarphat products Apart from being comfy and hard-wearing they are fabulously individual and a real talking point. Also what a great way to recycle old material. My hat arrived promptly well-packaged and was exactly what I expected. Keep up the good work

Good fun but size a bit odd

I have a wide brim tarp hat in xxl and it fits perfectly. So when I wanted a tarp eco cap I ordered xxl as well. Its made just as well as the wide brim hat but it just feels big.

Really pleased

I already have Tarp Hat so had high expectations for the Castro Cap. I was not disappointed The sizing is perfect the same as my original Tar hat and it has been made to the very same high standard. It is exactly what I had hoped it would be. Delivery was very swift with a minimal amount of packaging - all from sustainable sources. I cannot fault the product or the company. Very well done and thank you

Different.

I have 2 of these hats. 2 different styles and both have a character I dont think even if you got two if the same style you wouldnt get two the same. Would I get any more. Yes definitely. Be different and get yourself a few. I havent finished yet.
