    "Striped shirts make sailors stand out". Exactly! As a US Navy veteran, this is why I absolutely despised the blue camo uniforms from a few years ago. If you're on a ship and you go overboard, you WANT to be seen. You don't want to "blend in with the ocean". And what's up with the green camo uniforms of today? I understand that cross-service operations are more common, but as someone who joined during the "old school dungaree era", it seems pretentious and unnecessary when on board a ship.

      While I agree, the video did state that the blue and white stripes were meant to mimic the blue water and the whitecaps. So, better than the USN blue digis, but not as common sensical as, say, red or orange stripes would have been if safety was the primary factor.

    I met a dude on deployment last year in the US Navy. We were on a destroyer. He was an Electrician's mate and was born in Russia and emigrated to the US and enlisted in the Navy at some point. He was fluent in Russian, was covered in Russian tattoos, and by all regards, was very Russian and extremely proud of it.. During deployment we had a moral boosting method which was called "fun shirt Friday" (silly name I know but it worked). Every Friday you could wear whatever kind of shirt you wanted to with your uniform, provided it was practical and appropriate for the workplace. Every Friday without missing a single week, this guy would wear the Telnyashka with his US Navy blue coveralls and wore that thing with pride. People would rarely poke fun at him but everyone agreed it was pretty damn cool.

    Many years ago, my eldest daughter bought me several telnyashkas in different colours for my birthday. Since my birthday is just before Victory Day, the shop owner saw no problems. After Victory Day we went to swap them. I told the shop owner that I was a sailor and couldn't wear another man's colour. She understood as her husband was VDV. She explained to my daughter that men were proud of the colours of their service and would not wear another man's colour. She did it so well, and swapped the telnyashkas, my daughter no knows that papa is moryak!

    Actually the boat cut shirts were like that so you could easily strip them off in case you had to dive into the water.
    Lifeguards, military and etc (I even remember this from scouts) are taught to take one arm out of its sleeve, then pull the whole shirt over your head and let it fall off the the other arm to get it out of its sleeve. A bigger neck hole makes it easier to remove quickly but I would imagine leaves you open to more sunburn…

    Can you make a video on how the rank badges on combat uniforms were moved to chest from shoulder? It seems like many countries have done it already.

    I've got a bunch of Telnyashka's that I acquired over the years in Ukraine and got them for next to nothing. Last I knew they were being fazed out of the Ukrainian armed forces after the Russians invaded. I bought and sold a number of the Green & White, Black & White, along side of the Navy and Air Born shirts. I have had Vests, light weight spring & fall shirts with long sleeves and heavy sweaters used by the Navy.
