The infamous Russian striped shirt. These long-sleeved ones are the less taunting model, and perfect for just about any occasion.
- Light blue type is the model worn by the airborne forces.
- Dark blue model is the one worn by the naval forces.
- Black stripes worn by submariners, because colours don't exist in the dark depths.
- Red stripes signifies OMON or MVD.
Made of cotton, wash in 40 degrees (104 F), preferably by hand. These might shrink a bit in the first wash.
Size info
Sized according to the usual European system, but notice that these fit tight and small sizes are short! Lengthwise these are all the same, so don't worry your head with that. The chart below shows measurements of the actual garment laid flat: compare it to shirts you already have that fit you.

A word from our employee
Prolly THE best thing, that ever came from commie Disneyland (Soviet army). Telnyashka just happens to be manly as fuck, Warms more than a hug from polarbear and it is so comfortable, that you can feel The Kim Jong Healthy style cozyness whole day. I use these on Weekly basis and I own multiple variations. Recommended, 11/10.

Our old product descriptions include ironic praise of our eastern neighbor and it used to be good fun. Does it piss you off? We understand and agree. However, we won't whitewash the old product descriptions. Instead, we have decided to stop buying Russian products. We sell what we have in stock and that's it.

Most of stuff coming out of Russia and other places (stripy navy undershirt is also a perennial favourite of the French) is the civilian standard applicable to underwear generally - GOST 53145-2008. Sometimes even that is not on the tag.
So while I wear any telnyashka for esthetic value, I wish I could get genuine heavy stuff like I used to have. I made them into wiping cloths much too early, thinking that I can always get more. They indeed are like a bear hug from Putin himself. Whereas regular stuff is like a hug from Macron.
Obviously, better stuff costs more. Properly thick Putin-bear-hug-shirt would easily be worth even 100 euro-skins, although I think they are on the Russian navy books for 50 or less.
By the time I took part in the Cold War in the BAOR, we were told that only Soviet paratroops wore stripy shirts, combined with blue berets to signify their élite status within the Red Army. Later on, the wearing of such shirts was adopted by other assault troops, followed by other units, and even later by people like us who think we look cool in them. Which we do, of course.
