Russian Paratrooper Striped Shirt
The Russian Paratrooper Striped Shirt — known as the telnyashka — is the iconic light blue and white striped garment worn by the elite VDV Airborne Forces. Constructed from 100% cotton in a ribbed knit weave, it features the traditional wide boatneck collar, long sleeves, and a body-hugging cut designed to layer cleanly under a uniform tunic or field jacket. The blue stripes specifically denote the Russian paratroopers, distinguishing them from naval infantry and other branches that wear different colored versions. A genuine piece of Russian military heritage suited to collectors, reenactors, and anyone who appreciates authentic Eastern Bloc field gear.
