What style of undershirts was generally worn? long sleeved? collared? colors? Links to some examples would be great.
Thanks

This seems to depend largely on:
A: What type of unit you were in.
B: What your MOS (job) was.
C: How long you had been in the military.
D: ...and how long the powers that be thought you might live.
I portray a Cavalryman, and the testimony from unit survivors is that most, if not all the troops wore the blue, and white stripped t-shirt (what is commonly mis-identified as the Navy shirt)
Lifers also tended to get the better gear, whereas conscripts got what was left.
MOS' that had a longer life expectancy would get the better gear, whereas the MOS' that were expected to die off fairly quickly got the crap.
One of my contacts, said that when he was conscripted on his 17th birthday, the first uniform he was issued, was a model 35 uniform, that had been up-dated to the model 43 standard, and had at least three repaired bullet holes in it. When he asked what the repairs were, he was told that the previous wearers (note the use of the plural) no longer needed the gym, where they were now.

The typical undershirt worn was much like that worn since the 19th century and was a pullover long sleeve with a few buttons down the front and a no-collar or banded collar look ... much like even worn as far back as the US civil war. The Germans wore the same kinda shirt in the early days of ww2 for an undershirt. Kinda like a henley but made more of the kind of material and cut of an oxford shirt with buttoned cuffs and a button right at the neck. Kinda like a henley but made more like an oxford cloth shirt with oxford style cuffs and not made out of stretchy knit material like most henleys or without buttoned cuffs and with a short collar band instead of the last button flush with the chest like on a henley.

Vsahdneek is correct most of the ones I've seen look like your standard Victorian styled shirt and drawers. I think some people use ones from the 1950s, I myself just use a pair of Silly War undies and it works out fine to me.

Hello
If you need original soviet era undershirts, just let me know. I have on stock both, summer and winter undershirts in different sizes and different ages of production ( from late 40's to 70's )

Hey - I'm working with a company that is looking for sites that have content relating to clothing and I came across yours.
Any chance you'd be open to hearing about a way you could link to a merchant and make money in the case someone clicks on the link and purchases something?
Just wanted to see if it's something you'd be interested in hearing about! If not, I hope you have a great day!
