Alleson of Rochester was founded in 1933 (during the Great Depression) in Rochester, New York. The company was started by an immigrant cap maker and his son. Nestled in the basement of a downtown warehouse, the two pioneers started sewing men's caps and apparel with the goal of earning enough money to get by. Today, Don Alleson Athletic is the largest manufacturer of in-stock uniforms and apparel. Still a family-owned and managed business, Don Alleson is committed to supplying quality products with the value, and performance you've grown to expect from Alleson Athletic.
