THE LARUE HERITAGE COLLECTION: THE LEGACY HATS

Oorang Indians & Hometown Pride.

Step into a piece of gridiron and Ohio history with our exclusive LaRue Heritage Collection. Did you know that LaRue, Ohio, remains the smallest town to ever be home to a National Football League team?

In 1922 and 1923, the legendary Jim Thorpe coached and played for the Oorang Indians, an all-Native American NFL franchise based right in LaRue, Ohio. To celebrate this incredible legacy—alongside the scenic Scioto River, the town's rich agricultural roots, and its vibrant community—we’ve crafted a premium line of leather-patched hats and engraved leather valet trays.

Whether you're a local resident, a sports history buff, or someone who loves small-town Americana, this collection is designed to carry the spirit of LaRue wherever you go.
