Our History

Seagoing Uniform has manufactured military uniforms since 1896. Over the years products ranged from the "Dixie Cup" sailor hat to finely tailored officers dress uniforms. Since 1946 and the inception of the Navy exchange system., Seagoing's focus is the manufacturing of the utility uniform. Seagoing is most noted for its original Seafarer brand denim bell-bottom trousers and chambray shirts which have served as the enlisted sailor's uniform for 60 years.

In July of 1998 Seagoing became a DSCP contractor to the government to supply the "new" utility uniform which replaced the "old" style dungaree uniform in January 2000.
