Description
An emblematic garment steeped in Russian history
The telnyashka is an emblematic garment born of the Breton marinière and adopted by the Russian navy in the XIXᵉ century. Worn by the sailors of the Imperial Russian Navy, this horizontally striped undergarment quickly became the fleet’s symbol of pride. During the Second World War, the Soviet navy popularized it among the land army; Russian airborne troops made it their distinctive jersey. Even today, sailors, veterans and outdoor enthusiasts proudly wear this royal blue striped shirt.
