Soviet AIRBORNE Spetznaz Telnyashka, traditional striped, long sleeved, knit shirt with light blue stripes.

New, unissued condition. In cotton; a comfortable, stretchy double knit. The stripes are woven not printed and are as blue on the inside as on the outside. Currently made in Russia but virtually indistinguishable from Soviet era navy / merchant fleet sailor shirts. The sleeves on these seem to average about 22" 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.

(1) SIZE: MEN'S Extra Small (Russian Size 44-46) Measures approximately 34-35" under arms around the fullest part of the chest. The sleeves on these seem to average about 22" in length from shoulder seam to "cuff".

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.
