In many cases, Russian servicemen wear them pulled back up their forearms well toward their elbows.NEW, unissued condition. In 100% cotton; a comfortable, stretchy double knit. The STRIPES are WOVEN not printed and are as green on the inside as on the outside (unlike the cheap imitations that don’t have the “right” look from the beginning, these colors are durable and won’t run with wear). Currently made in Russia, these are the shirts that are currently used by the Russian Border Guards (the shirts come from the same manufacturer in Russia that actually makes the shirts for Border Guards and other military services).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.Please remember: these are always worn very close-fitting (much tighter than in our photograph!), so expect your new shirt to have a very snug fit!FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl.
