ABOUT US – FROM LIAM

My name is Liam McAllister, and Maison McAllister is more than a brand to me — it’s the legacy of the man who raised me.

I was born in Queens, New York. My mother passed away during childbirth, so it was just me and my father, Dalton McAllister, from day one. We didn’t have money. We didn’t have connections. But my father gave me something far more valuable: a blueprint for how a man should move through the world.

He was a tailor in a tiny neighborhood shop. Long days. Long nights. But no matter how tired he was, he carried himself like a gentleman — always respectful, always composed, always well-dressed even when his bank account didn’t match his standard.

Father & Son

He used to tell me,
“Son, style isn’t about what you can afford. It’s about how much pride you carry.”

Every year on my birthday, he’d make me a suit. They weren’t expensive — usually stitched together from leftover fabrics he saved throughout the year. But to me, they felt like luxury. They were pieces of him. Pieces of his time, his effort, his love.

That tradition taught me that clothing can hold meaning. It can shape who you become.

In 2011, my father passed away from a heart attack. Losing him felt like the world had tilted off its axis. But even in that grief, I knew one thing with absolute clarity:
I couldn’t let his vision die in that small shop in Queens.

The beginning of - Maison McAllister

So I built Maison McAllister in his honor — a brand rooted in the values he lived by:


  • Respect everyone.

  • Carry yourself with dignity.

  • Make style accessible, not exclusive.

  • Look like a gentleman, no matter where you come from.

I started this brand from my tiny apartment. Boxes stacked in the hallway, packing orders at 2 AM, doing everything myself. But people connected with the story. They felt the sincerity, the intention, and the quality behind every piece.

We grew — faster than I ever expected. Faster than my father would have believed… but exactly how he dreamed.

Today, we’ve reached a point where we’re moving into a larger warehouse. It’s a big step — a milestone that reminds me of how far we’ve come from that small tailor shop in Queens.

Maison McAllister exists because of my father’s values, and it grows because of customers who believe in the same thing he did:

Style should elevate you — not empty your wallet.

Clothing should shape your confidence — not your status.

So when you wear something from Maison McAllister, you’re not just wearing a product.

You’re wearing the legacy of a man who taught me what it means to be a gentleman.

And I hope it inspires you the way it inspired me.
