Russian Style Telnyashka Long Sleeve Shirt - Blue

Mil-Tec Telnyashka Shirt

The telnyashka is the horizontally striped undershirt worn by Russian sailors and airborne troops, and the blue-and-white version is the one most people recognize. Mil-Tec's Russian-style reproduction keeps that pattern on a long sleeve cotton shirt you can wear as a base layer under a jacket or on its own. It suits collectors, reenactors and anyone who wants the classic naval stripe in a shirt built for regular wear.

Features

• Blue And White Stripes — Navy blue bands alternate with white across the body and both sleeves in the traditional telnyashka pattern.
• Cotton Construction — The shirt is made from cotton, which is soft against the skin and breathes well when worn as a layer.
• Knit Fabric — A stretchy knit body moves with you instead of pulling across the shoulders the way a woven shirt can.
• Long Sleeves — Full-length sleeves add warmth under a field jacket or smock in cooler weather.
• Wide Crew Neck — A plain, wide round neckline sits flat under an open collar so the stripes show at the throat.
• Dropped Shoulder Seams — The shoulder seams sit below the shoulder line, giving a relaxed cut that layers easily.
• Hemmed Cuffs And Waist — Stitched hems at the cuffs and bottom edge keep the fabric from curling or fraying.
• Russian-Style Reproduction — Mil-Tec produces this as a commercial take on the Russian issue shirt, so it is new rather than surplus.

Fabric And Fit

Mil-Tec cuts this telnyashka from cotton knit with a straight body and a relaxed, dropped-shoulder fit. It works as an undershirt beneath a uniform or overshirt, and it is just as wearable alone with jeans or cargo pants. Check the size chart before ordering, since the loose cut can change how you size up or down.
