Originally worn by sailors and fishermen on France’s Atlantic coast, the shirts were given the status of Russia’s official navy uniform in 1874. The modern design with equally wide white and coloured stripes was introduced in 1912. The word ‘telnyashka’ translates to ‘body shirt’ and the single-thread jerseys are still worn as an undergarment by the Russian army and navy today. The colours of the stripes are related to different military functions – black for mariners, light blue for airborne personnel and green for border service.
