The Clan US Seabees Tartan Kilt honours the United States Navy Seabees — the Naval Construction Battalions whose initials, “C.B.,” gave them their famous name. Since the Second World War the Seabees have built airfields, roads and bases wherever the fleet needed them, under the motto “Can Do.” This is an organisational tartan rather than a family one: a way for those who served, and their families, to wear that pride in Highland form.
The sett is built on a bright, confident green ground — a nod to the Seabees’ construction green — crossed by clean lines of gold and lifted with fine overchecks of red and blue. It reads vividly and cheerfully, an unmistakable cloth for anyone with a link to the battalions.
It works for a wedding, a reunion or a service occasion. Pair it with an Argyll kilt jacket, add a leather sporran, and keep the shirt simple with a ghillie shirt.
Can Do, in tartan — for the Seabees and those who stand with them.
