Russian Telnyashka, long sleeve. Lekalooks 2011, Viena. "I want unique things in my wardrobe. I use a lot of second-hand clothes, since I enjoy mixing up my style often, but do not want to be out buying new stuff all the time. I also customise clothes to fit me better if the cut isn't quite right, or update them if they're not quite "today". My everyday style is quite boyish, so military surplus is often just the ticket for me. I especially enjoy the classic lines and high quality and durable materials often found in them. Fortunately my figure makes it easy for me to wear men's clothing with minimal effort."

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.

Genuine stuff

Factory new, made by Russia, sometimes outsourced to Czechs.

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.

Remove Russia

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.

One of the (easy to rip off) cards on the shirt was indeed in Russian, which I cannot read.
but another small piece inside said:

honderd procent katoen... and that I can read.. because it says:
100%Cotton (in Dutch) / made in the EU

The Rusky's could ofcourse outsource their shirt production to .. I don't know..
but Ruskya is for sure not in the EU,

Olen kovasti tyytyväinen. Pesen kaikki vaatteet 60 asteessa ja rumpukuivaan. Hiukaverran kutistuu mitä uumoilinkin ja valitsin koon sen mukaan. Materiaali on päällä todella pehmoista ja mukavaa. Päivitän arviota muutaman pesun ja rummutuksen jälkeen. Mieskin tykkäsi paidastaan kovasti. Kelpo vaate. Värit mukavan syvät.

Good shirts overall, although be warned that these models will shrink on your first wash, even in cold water! Unless you want to wear something that's almost a crop top or plan on giving these to your girlfriend, I recommend buying a size up so it will "shrink to fit" to your size after the first wash.

Great quality for the price; just wish the sleeves were longer.

Jo reippaat 1,5 vuotta käytössä eikä kulumisen merkkejä näy, vaikka pesty moneen otteeseen. Itselleni L kokoisessa on hiukan liian lyhyet hihat, mutta tämäpä ei käyttöön vaikuta. PS. just lähti tilaukseen kolme paitaa lisää, jotta ei lopu kesken ja löytyypi joka väri. PPS. Nää kestää paremmin, kuin suomalaiset tasaraita-mallin paidat!

Decent shirts, made of strong fabric. I bought two according to my normal size and the sleeves were a bit short, just covering 3/4 of my short arms. I would suggest to buy a size up, or measure out some extra length for your arms, as I will next time as they are excellent shirts regardless.

Great quality, but the sizing is weird. This is after it shrunk by the way, because these WILL shrink considerably on the first wash. Bought what I thought was my size but that turned out really small and too short in the arms. Bought another one a size up and it fits quite slim and nice, but most importantly the arms are just long enough. Just buy a size up, I might actually buy 2 sizes up next time just so I can have a shirt that fits a little more loosely... great quality though, I hope they always keep these in stock because I will be buying again.

I have owned a few genuine soviet navy telnyashkas, and they can be different. Some are smooth inside, some jerseylike. Some are winter issue, some summer issue. There are 2, even 3, main types of fabric (plus the far north fabric, plus the deep sea divers fabric). Genuine navy shirts are at least 200 grams/m2 for summer, and can be up to 400 g/m2 for winter. You should be able to stand a few hours on the Red Square on 7 November in the best telnyashka and a tunic, or even a few minutes on the deck of the North Sea Fleet warship in a storm.. Military standard is GOST 25904-83, and it should be stated on the tag.

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.

I remember reading in a book somewhere, sometime in the deepest, darkest 1980s, that Red Army soldiers first started wearing the Navy striped shirts during the 1941-44 siege of Leningrad, when the former were issued them from the clothing stores of the naval base there. Also, the sailors manned the defensive trenches.
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.
