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.

Great shirtGot this for my airsoft matches and it works awesome under my gear when its hot out. The blue stripes are bright and the cotton feels solid after a few washes. Only thing is the sleeves run a tad long on me so I roll em up sometimes. Does what its supposed to and looks legit.

Not Sized CorrectlyNot sure why others say these are sized large. I ordered a size 3XL, but it fits like a size Large.
