RUSSIAN NAVAL INFANTRY SLEEVELESS “TELNYASHKA” PULLOVER SHIRT WITH DARK NAVY BLUE STRIPES SIZE: MEN'S SMALL New, unissued condition. In cotton; a comfortable, stretchy double knit. The stripes are woven not printed and are as dark blue on the inside as on the outside. Currently made in Russia but virtually indistinguishable from Soviet era shirts. PLEASE NOTE : a telnyashka should be washed in cold water and never in hot. It will shrink about a size if you wash it in warm water . It should probably be line dried rather than dried in a drier. It is interesting to note that the telnyashka blue striped shirt and the "Donald Duck" cap were about the only things that distinguished a naval infantryman from the other Red Army ground forces in WW2, as all other equipment and uniforms were virtually the same! Please remember: these are always worn very close-fitting (much tighter than in our photograph!), so expect your new shirt to have a very snug fit! *Please note: item for sale does not include the mannequin shown in the photo.
