(1) SIZE: MEN'S SMALL / MEDIUM (Russian size 48- 50)
Measures approximately 38" under arms around the fullest part of the chest. The sleeves on these seem to average about 21.5" in length from shoulder seam to "cuff". 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!
As worn by the famed Soviet Morskaya Pekhota (marine infantry), the tel'nyashka and the "Donald Duck" sailor's cap were usually the only things that distinguished a naval infantrymen from the other ground forces, as all other equipment and uniforms were the same.
