RUSSIAN NAVAL INFANTRY LONG SLEEVED “TELNYASHKA” PULLOVER SHIRT WITH DARK BLUE STRIPES SIZE: MEN'S MEDIUM 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. The sleeves on these seem to average about 20" to 21" in length from shoulder seam to "cuff". Since this is actually an undershirt, the sleeves probably aren't supposed to reach all the way to the wearer’s wrist. In many cases, Russian servicemen wear them pulled back up their forearms well toward their elbows. It is interesting to note that the telnyashka blue striped shirt and a "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.
