Navy uniforms are casual and dress uniforms. Russian Navy uniform: types and divisions What a naval uniform for girls should look like

It has its own rather long history. Over the decades it has undergone many changes. In this article we will look at a brief history of the form, its various variations and principles of wearing.

History of naval dress

The history of the Navy uniform dates back to the time of Peter the Great. By order of the powerful emperor-manager, in 1696 the Boyar Duma decided to create the first navy in the Russian state. October 30 is traditionally considered the founding day of the Russian Fleet.

With its creation, Peter I introduced a uniform for sailors and lower ranks, created from items of naval clothing of Dutch naval employees, namely a gray or green jacket made of coarse wool, short green pants, stockings and a wide-brimmed hat. The footwear for naval employees was leather shoes. This set was also replaced by a casual work suit. It included a loose shirt, canvas trousers, a cocked hat and a camisole. The sailors wore it during Ushakov’s Mediterranean campaign.

The work uniform, which included a set of gray canvas trousers and a shirt, was worn during any ship work; a uniform white shirt with an azure collar was put on top of it. This suit was approved as a uniform for privates in the summer of 1874.

About Navy uniform fabrics

Until the 80s of the 20th century, military everyday work uniforms for military personnel of the Russian Navy were made from lightweight canvas, which was easy to clean from the most difficult stains. The Black Sea Fleet was dressed in white work clothes, the rest - most often in blue. A little later, the color of the uniform changed to blue/dark blue, and the material became predominantly cotton fabric. The new uniform is sewn in a variety of workshops, using all sorts of materials that are not always of good quality. The new (currently approved) uniform can be of any color ranging from shades of black and blue.

What is the most common new naval suit for 2019? A naval suit, or in the jargon of Navy personnel, a work dress (also a sailor's robe) is a form of working clothing for sailors, cadets of naval schools, as well as petty officers of the Russian Navy. A sailor's suit consists of the following items of clothing:

• Shirt.
• Trousers.
• Sailor collar.
• Shoes.
• Headdress.

Sailor's Shirt

The shirt, worn, as a rule, with a special button-down collar, is cut like a classic sailor's shirt. Its back and one-piece front are without seams, with a wide turn-down collar. There is a patch pocket on the front and an internal pocket on the reverse side. There is a slit that fastens with a button. The shirt sleeves are straight, set-in; simple shoulder straps corresponding to the rank. A mandatory element of sailor clothing is a white tag with an indelible combat number. Such a shirt is worn untucked, and during service on watch it must be tucked into the pants. In cold weather, an overcoat, peacoat or coat is worn over the set.

Sailor's trousers

Sailor's work trousers are made of dark blue cotton fabric. They have side pockets, fasteners located on the codpiece, as well as a belt with special loops (belt loops) for the belt. The belt is made mainly from pigskin, and on its plaque is the emblem of the Russian Navy. The buckle of the model that existed in the USSR depicted an anchor with a star.

Sailor's collar

The collar is also made of cotton material, worn over the shirt, has a lining and three white stripes, symbolizing the victories of the Navy in such battles as Chesme, Gangut and Sinop. Dress naval clothing also includes a sailor collar.

Sailor's headdress

There are several hats in Navy uniforms. One of them is a trump cap, to which is attached a ribbon with the name of the ship or with the inscription “Navy”. The tape is put on the band. It, like the bottom and walls, is made of wool. On the crown of the headdress there is a cockade representing a golden anchor. In the USSR, the cockade had the shape of a so-called “crab” - a red star framed by golden-colored leaves. The summer cap is made of white fabric (comes with a replaceable cover). The winter headdress is a black fur hat with earflaps.

In 2014, plans were made to introduce a wool hat to replace the earflap hat for outdoor work. Also in 2014, other developments of a new form were carried out, but some innovations did not take root.

In addition, the casual uniform set includes a beret.

The set of hats also includes a cap. On the front side of the cap there is a golden cockade in the shape of an anchor. In Soviet-era Navy uniforms, caps were intended for submarine crews. It was black in color and differed in type - for privates and for officers. Relatively recently, the cap was adopted as part of the uniform worn by the entire Navy. Its semicircular style was replaced with a rectangular one. The cap also received white piping, which was previously intended only for midshipmen and officers’ headdresses, as well as a cockade instead of a star.

Shoes

The above-described suit is accompanied by boots made of yuft leather, with thick soles, called “burnouts” or “bastards” in naval jargon. Not so long ago, boots were made with laces, but now, in 2019, they also have rubber inserts (they were introduced in 2014). In areas where the climate is harsh, military personnel wear cowhide boots. The tropical uniform includes wearing sandals.

Also included in the complete set of everyday uniforms is a striped vest, gloves and a hat with earflaps.

Casual uniform for officers and midshipmen

The military casual uniform, intended for officers and midshipmen, includes: a black or white woolen cap, a jacket made of the same material, a black coat, a cream shirt, a black tie with a gold bartack, a muffler, black trousers, a waist belt, gloves and ankle boots, low shoes or boots as footwear. It is also allowed to include a black cap, a woolen sweater of the same color, a demi-season jacket or raincoat and a jacket made of blue wool in the everyday set.

Casual women's Navy uniform

It is a set of a cap made of black wool, a black woolen skirt, a cream-colored blouse, a traditional tie with gold fastening and a waist belt, black shoes (or boots) and nude tights. Also included is a jacket.

A winter casual uniform involves wearing an astrakhan black beret, a wool coat, a skirt, a blouse, a belt, a tie and tights from the summer set described above, a black muffler and gloves. Shoes are boots or shoes. The jacket is also available in a winter version of the uniform. It is allowed to wear a sweater, a demi-season raincoat, a cap and a hat with earflaps.

It is worth noting that some of the elements that exist in the kit now were introduced in 2014.

Now, having examined everyday naval attire, let's move on to other different types of naval uniform. There are several types of them, including:

• Front door.
• Office.
• Dembelskaya.

Also, since the times of the USSR, there has been a division into winter and summer forms.

Dress uniform for officers and midshipmen of the Navy

There are several types of dress uniforms for different weather/climate conditions. The headdress in the ceremonial set is a white/black cap (summer or winter/woolen) or a hat with earflaps made of black fur (colonels, senior officers and captains of the first rank wear an astrakhan hat with a visor).

A mandatory element of any type of officer's and midshipman's dress uniform is a black tie with a gold tack. Also included is a wool jacket: black (dress) or white (summer). Black wool trousers, a white shirt and a golden belt are the basis of any dress uniform.

Shoes – black or white shoes/boots or low shoes/shoes. A white muffler or detachable collar may also be present (depending on weather conditions). As outerwear - a black coat made of woolen fabric. He wears sewn shoulder straps, just like jackets. The shirts are removable. The winter dress uniform includes warm black gloves. It is also allowed to wear a demi-season raincoat or jacket and white gloves.

Dress uniform for petty officers and sailors of the Navy

Mandatory items of clothing are a striped vest (the contract soldier's uniform requires wearing a cream shirt with a tie), black wool trousers and a black waist belt. The headdress can be a white (summer) peakless cap or a black wool or fur hat with earflaps (winter version). A white or black cap is also intended for a contract soldier. There is also a white uniform (for a contract soldier - a jacket made of black wool), or a blue flannel jacket. The uniform includes a black woolen coat (on which shoulder straps are also worn, as well as jackets, peacoats, flannel jackets and uniforms), a muffler and gloves. Wearing a pea coat is also permitted. Footwear – boots/low shoes, ankle boots.

Women's Navy dress uniform

This set is almost completely identical in composition to the everyday one, except that the jacket is ceremonial, the belt is also ceremonial, golden, and in the winter version it comes with a white muffler.

• A blue or black cap or casual cap of the same colors.
• A suit consisting of trousers and a jacket with long (short) sleeves.
• Vests or white/blue T-shirts.
• The Navy office uniform also includes a white cap.

Navy demobilization uniform

The demobilization naval uniform is a very special “informal” uniform for an employee. This is not just a set of clothes - but a manifestation of the soldier’s imagination and pride. This set is prepared according to the personal preferences of the employee. The tradition of making uniforms specifically for transfer to the reserve came to us from the USSR.

The demobilization form can also be divided into several types:

• Strict.
• Decorated.

The decorated demobilization uniform can, in turn, be unofficially divided into:

• Moderately decorated.
• Medium decorated.
• Richly decorated.

Accordingly, it makes sense to consider in more detail the strict (statutory) demobilization uniform, due to the freedom of compiling a set of decorated uniforms. It most often consists of a sewn jacket, with sewn emblems of the tribal troops, gold buttons, awards and badges, aiguillettes and traditional shoes, a belt and a cap (beret).

On August 19, Russia celebrates the birthday of the Russian vest. It was on this day in 1874, on the initiative of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich Romanov, that Emperor Alexander II signed a decree introducing a new uniform, by which the vest (a special “underwear” shirt) was introduced as part of the mandatory uniform of the Russian sailor.

Workers of the sea and river fleet have their professional holiday annually on the first Sunday of July.

How the vest used to look, what the stripes are like and what their color means, see the infographic.

The vest appeared during the heyday of the sailing fleet in Brittany (France), presumably in the 17th century.

The vests had a boat neckline and three-quarter sleeves and were white with dark blue stripes. In Europe at that time, striped clothes were worn by social outcasts and professional executioners. But for Breton sailors, according to one version, a vest was considered lucky clothing for sea voyages.

In Russia, the tradition of wearing vests began to take shape, according to some sources, in 1862, according to others, in 1866. Instead of narrow jackets with uncomfortable stand-up collars, Russian sailors began to wear comfortable flannel Dutch shirts with a cutout on the chest. An undershirt was worn under the shirt - a vest.

At first, vests were issued only to participants of long-distance hikes and were a source of special pride. As one of the reports of that time says: “lower ranks... mainly wore them on Sundays and holidays when going ashore... and in all cases when it was necessary to be smartly dressed...”. The vest was finally established as part of the uniform by an order signed on August 19, 1874 by Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich. This day can be considered the birthday of the Russian vest.

The vest has a great advantage over other underwear shirts. Fitted tightly to the body, it does not interfere with free movement during work, retains heat well, is convenient to wash, and dries quickly in the wind.

This type of light sea clothing has not lost its importance today, although sailors now rarely have to climb the shrouds. Over time, the vest came into use in other branches of the military, although in few places it is an official part of the uniform. However, this item of clothing is used both in the ground forces and even in the police.

Why is the vest striped and what does the color of the stripes mean?

The blue and white transverse stripes of the vests corresponded to the colors of the Russian naval St. Andrew's flag. In addition, sailors dressed in such shirts were clearly visible from the deck against the background of the sky, sea and sails.

The tradition of making stripes multi-colored was strengthened in the 19th century - the color determined whether a sailor belonged to a particular flotilla. After the collapse of the USSR, the colors of the vest stripes were “distributed” among the various branches of the military.

What does the color of the stripes on the vest mean:

Black: submarine forces and marines;
cornflower blue: presidential regiment and FSB special forces;
light green: border troops;
light blue: Airborne Forces;
maroon: Ministry of Internal Affairs;
orange: Ministry of Emergency Situations.

What is guy?

In the navy, a guy is called a collar that is tied over the uniform. The real meaning of the word "geus" (from the Dutch geus - "flag") is a naval flag. The flag is raised daily on the bow of ships of the 1st and 2nd ranks during anchorage from 8 a.m. to sunset.

The history of the appearance of the guy is quite prosaic. In the Middle Ages in Europe, men wore long hair or wigs, and sailors wore their hair in ponytails and braids. To protect against lice, hair was smeared with tar. To prevent tar from staining their clothes, the sailors covered their shoulders and back with a protective leather collar, which could be easily wiped clean from dirt.

Over time, the leather collar was replaced with a fabric one. Long hairstyles are a thing of the past, but the tradition of wearing a collar remains. In addition, after the abolition of wigs, a square cloth collar was used for insulation - in cold windy weather it was tucked under clothes.

Why are there three stripes on the butt?

There are several versions of the origin of the three stripes on the butt. According to one of them, three stripes symbolize three major victories of the Russian fleet:

At Gangut in 1714;
at Chesma in 1770;
at Sinop in 1853.

It should be noted that sailors from other countries also have stripes on their butts, the origin of which is explained in a similar way. Most likely, this repetition occurred as a result of borrowing the form and legend. It is not known for certain who first invented stripes.

According to another legend, the founder of the Russian fleet, Peter I, had three squadrons. The first squadron had one white stripe on its collars. The second has two stripes, and the third, especially close to Peter, has three stripes. Thus, the three stripes began to mean that the naval guard was especially close to Peter.

Sailors of all generations of the Russian fleet have always been partial to the vest and called it the soul of the sea. Among sailors, a knitted shirt with transverse white and blue stripes, commonly called a vest, is a particularly favorite garment. The vest got its name due to the fact that it is worn on a naked body. What did the vest look like before, what are the stripes and what does their color mean?

Currently, flannel uniform shirts, which are used to support the modern fleet, are blue, and summer cotton uniforms are white (with a blue jacket edged with three white stripes).

The uniform collar is part of the ceremonial uniform of enlisted personnel of the Navy and is worn with a flannel or uniform.

How did guy appear?

The decoration of the naval suit shirt is a large blue collar with three white stripes along the edge. The history of its origin is very interesting. In the old days, sailors were required to wear powdered wigs and oiled horsehair braids. The braids stained the robe, and the sailors were punished for it, so they came up with the idea of ​​hanging a piece of leather under the braid. Braids are no longer worn in the navy, and the leather flap has turned into a blue collar, reminding us of the old days.

There is another version: the hood with which sailors protected themselves from splashes was transformed into a sailor’s collar.

A uniform collar is also called a collar.

Literary version

...It was a dark night... Our young cabin boy, after his rescue on the water, could not sleep. Jumping out onto the deck, he saw the boatswain smoking his pipe in the stern.

Well, young man, can’t sleep? It’s been a long time since there was a command “All clear”?; The boatswain looked at him questioningly.

No, I can’t sleep!; answered the cabin boy.

I would like to thank you for saving me!; the cabin boy blurted out warmly and gratefully. You pulled me out of this sea!

I didn’t pull you out of the sea, but from the other world!; answered the old sailor.

By the way, why are you not dressed in uniform? Where is your guy?

Hanging his head, our cabin boy found himself:

I washed it right away!

After a while, he came running back, carrying his dick in his arms.

Well, that's commendable! Do you know what this is?; asked the boatswain.

I just heard that this is a collar... But still, what is this, comrade boatswain?

He chuckled contentedly and invited the cabin boy into his cabin.

Well, sit back and listen!

Young turned all out loud.

Here's what the boatswain said:

There are several stories and legends about the appearance of 3 stripes on sailors’ legs, or as you put it – collars.

At first, in the distant past, on ships, these were indeed collars that were used to protect the backs of rowers from the scorching rays of the Sun and splashes.

The collar also, much later, first appeared as a lining under the hair, protecting the uniform from “powder” falling off the wig, in foreign navies.

After the abolition of wigs, a square cloth collar was used for insulation - in cold windy weather it was tucked under the visor and replaced the cap.

Another legend tells that these three stripes appeared with the appearance of three squadrons under Peter I. It was in honor of these squadrons that three stripes appeared on the guy.

Also, there was a story about three victories of our Fleet, in honor of the three stripes on modern jacks - at Gangut in 1714, Chesma in 1770 and Sinop in 1853.

That is, these victories really took place, but they relate to stripes as a method of patriotic education.

However, guy is, first of all, a FLAG, my friend!

From Dutch, “guys” is a naval flag, as well as the flag of coastal fortresses. It is raised daily at the bow (on the flagpole on the bowsprit) of ships of the 1st and 2nd ranks, exclusively during anchorage, along with the stern flag, usually from 8 a.m. to sunset.”

Historical version

The collar was first introduced in the Russian Navy in 1843.

The origin of the collar is very. In those days, sailors wore wigs and oiled horsehair braids. Braids stained clothes, and sailors were punished for it, so they came up with the idea of ​​​​wearing a leather flap under the braid. Braids have not been worn in the navy for a long time, and the leather flap has turned into a blue collar. There is another version: to protect against sea spray and wind, sailors wore a hood, which later transformed into a collar.

The uniform collar is made of dark blue cotton fabric, with three white stripes along the edges. Blue lining. At the ends of the collar there is one loop, in the middle of the neckline there is a button for fastening the collar to the uniform and working naval jacket.

Starting with Peter I

Peter I had three squadrons in his fleet. The first squadron had one white stripe on its collars. The second has two stripes, and the third, who is especially close to Peter, has three stripes. Thus, the three stripes began to mean that the naval guard was especially close to Peter. At the same time, the first squadron wore white flannel uniform shirts, the second squadron had blue shirts, and the third - red.

First the guard

In 1881, three white stripes were introduced on the collars for sailors of the Guards Fleet Crew. And the next year, 1882, this collar was extended to the entire fleet.

The stripes on it signified organizational affiliation. The Russian Baltic Fleet at that time was divided into three divisions. At the same time, the sailors of the first division wore one white stripe on the collar, the sailors of the second division - respectively, two stripes, and the sailors of the third - three.

Fleet victories have nothing to do with it

It is widely believed that they were introduced in memory of three victories of the Russian fleet:

• at Gangut in 1714;
• Chesmy in 1770;
• Sinope in 1853.

But it turns out that this is nothing more than a beautiful and highly patriotic legend.

There is no doubt that the number of stripes has nothing to do with the victories of the Russian navy. It’s just that when choosing a design, the purely aesthetic side of the matter prevailed: the collar with three stripes turned out to be the most beautiful and has a simple, finished shape. In the summer, sailors in our navy wear a white linen uniform shirt with the same attractive blue collar, edged with three white stripes. The same three stripes are on the blue cuffs of these shirts.

A little about the ribbons on visor caps

The first ribbons in the Russian Navy appeared on oilskin hats of sailors in 1857 and no later than 1872 on caps. Until then, only slotted letters and numbers were placed on the bands of sailors’ caps, which were painted over or lined with yellow cloth. The exact size and shape of the letters on the ribbons, as well as the ribbons themselves, were approved for the entire rank and file of the Russian fleet on August 19, 1874. In the Soviet Navy, the font on Red Navy ribbons was approved in 1923.

A special ribbon on the caps of Soviet sailors is the ribbon of the Guards ships, approved together with the Guards badge in 1943. The ribbon of the Guards ships has the color of the Order of Glory ribbon of alternating stripes of orange and black.

Some researchers suggest that in the Russian fleet the black and orange color of the St. George's ribbon repeats the former dynastic colors of the Russian monarchy. This is fundamentally wrong. The old heraldic colors of the Russian monarchy are gold and black or yellow and black. There is a definite indication about the approval of the black-orange stripes of the St. George ribbon in 1769, where it is said that the colors are purely “military”: orange is the color of flame and black is the color of cannon and rifle powder smoke.

The Navy uniform has a rather long history of origin. This clothing changes over time. New accessories and additions appear in it. The appearance of the parts themselves also changes. Below we will talk about exactly how this form appeared. We will also tell you what changes it has undergone. In addition, interesting facts will be given that will captivate many readers of the article.

The history of the appearance of such a dress uniform

The first time the Navy dress uniform arose during the reign of the great Peter the Great. Its appearance is associated with the emergence of the Russian Navy itself. The date of this event is well known - the thirtieth of October.

First, uniforms were introduced. It was intended to be worn by sailors and lower ranks. This item of clothing looked like this:

1. Jacket.
2. Cropped trousers. The color of the pants and jacket was green. And these wardrobe items were sewn from coarse woolen fabric.
3. The set also included stockings.
4. Broad-brim.
5. Shoes made of genuine leather.

This Navy uniform was copied from the Dutch naval uniform.

Work suit

There was also an everyday work suit, which was worn instead of a uniform. This set consisted of the following clothing items:

1. Loose fit shirt. It was spacious.
2. Trousers made of canvas.
3. Triangular headdress.
4. Camisole.

The Ushakov sailors wore such uniforms during their voyage across the Mediterranean.

Gray canvas trousers and a shirt belonged to the robe for everyday work. On top of this set of clothes it was customary to wear a white shirt. Its distinctive feature was an azure-colored collar. This is how the rank and file of the fleet dressed. This Navy uniform was approved in the second half of the 19th century.

What fabrics were used for sewing?

For a long time, the Navy uniform (its photo is presented in the article) was made of lightweight canvas. This was due to the fact that this material is easy to wash and remove various contaminants. This fabric was used in tailoring uniforms until the eighties of the last century. There was also a difference in the color of clothing between different navies. For example, the Black Sea had a white shape.

And the rest of the fleets used a blue tone to wear. Then the uniform began to be sewn in blue or dark blue. The fabric has also changed. Cotton began to be used instead of canvas. In recent years, it has become customary to sew uniforms to order in various studios. Any fabric can be used for its production. It is worth saying that it is not always of good quality. The color palette for sewing uniforms can range from blue to black. Often, materials such as sergeant major are used for manufacturing. It has a dense texture and is considered a high quality fabric.

Everyday clothing for sailors

What is the Russian Navy uniform for sailors for every day?

Below we will consider a sailor's suit, which is usually worn every day. The uniform for it has several names, namely: “robe”, “work dress”. The correct name is “naval suit”. It is also common to call a sailor's dress a tunic.

The sailor's suit includes the following clothing items:

1. Shirt.
2. Trousers.
3. Special sailor collar.
4. Shoes.
5. Headdress.

Shirt

It should be said that a sailor’s shirt is usually called a shirt. This is due to the fact that it has a loose fit. And its appearance resembles an ancient shirt. This clothing has a special sailor-style collar. The cut is made in such a way that the back and front have no seams. There is a patch pocket in the front of the shirt. In addition, there is an internal pocket. A special incision is provided. It is fastened with a button. The sleeves have a regular, straight shape and are set-in. Also, this item of clothing has shoulder straps of a simple shape. They correspond to the rank of the bearer. In addition, a mandatory attribute of a sailor's shirt is a white tag. It contains information about the person's combat number. This number will not be erased. It is customary to wear a shirt untucked. If you are on shift, it should be tucked into your trousers. In cold weather, a coat or peacoat is worn on top. An overcoat can also be used as insulation.

Trousers of an employee in the navy. New Navy uniform

When sewing trousers, the cut that was used in the seventeenth century is still used. The material for sewing these pants is dark blue and has a cotton base. The main features of sailor trousers are pockets. They are located on the sides. There are also special fasteners on the codpiece. In addition, there is a belt with loops. They are called "loop loops" and hold the belt. The form's belt is made of leather. It has a plaque with state symbols. Now it shows the emblem of the Navy. Previously, in Soviet times, an anchor and a star could be seen on the plaque.

Collar as an important form attribute

You should know that the collar has a symbolic meaning. It consists in the fact that there are three white stripes on it. They are a symbol of the victories of the Navy in such battles:

1. Chesmenskoe.
2. Gangutskoe.
3. Sinopskoe.

The collar material is cotton. It has a lining. The collar is worn over the shirt. The Navy dress uniform includes a collar as part of its kit.

Sailor headdress - cap

It should be said that the uniform has several hats. First of all, it’s worth mentioning a cap without a visor with a ribbon. There is an inscription on the ribbon. It may say “Navy” or the name of the ship. The tape is fixed on the band. The bottom, walls and band are made of woolen fabric. The cap also has a cockade. It is located on her crown. The cap's cap badge is presented in the form of a gold-colored anchor. During the Soviet Union, it was made in the form of a red star, which was framed by golden leaves. This cockade was called a crab. The cap is made of white fabric. It has a replaceable cover.

Ushanka hat - winter sailor's headdress

In winter, the uniform includes a hat with earflaps. It is made of fur and has a black color. A few words should be said about the fact that there were attempts to introduce such a headdress as a wool cap into the sailor uniform. It was supposed to replace the earflaps and be used for outdoor work. However, this innovation did not take root in the Navy wardrobe.

Beret and caps

Another headdress that is used is the beret.

In addition to the beret, the uniform set is complemented by a cap. There are special holes on its sides. They are designed for ventilation. Such holes are called "blocks". The front part of the cap is complemented by a cockade with an anchor. In Soviet times, the cap was worn by submariners. She was black. In addition, caps differed in type. Officers had one type, and privates had another. The entire naval force began to use the cap not so long ago. The shape of this headdress has changed. Previously, the cap was semicircular, but now it has a rectangular shape. In addition, the cap was complemented with white piping. In the past, such elements were only on the caps of officers and midshipmen. The star was replaced by a cockade.

Sailor shoes

Sailors' boots deserve special attention. They were made of yuft leather and had a thick sole. In colloquial form, such boots were called “bastards.” These shoes were made with laces. Recently they have had rubber inserts. Old-time sailors prefer to wear boots. They are called chrome. This is due to the fact that they are produced using leather that has been tanned in chrome. In addition to chrome boots, there are cowhide boots. They are used in harsh climatic conditions. In hot climates, sailors wear sandals.

The Russian Navy (Navy) is one of the military branches along with the Air Force and Ground Forces. It includes surface and submarine forces, marines and aviation, coastal artillery, auxiliary and special forces.

Despite the different tasks, each of these units, when wearing uniforms, is guided by the provisions of Order No. 300 of the Russian Ministry of Defense “On approval of the rules for wearing military uniforms, insignia, departmental insignia and other heraldic signs in the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the procedure for mixing existing and new items military uniform in the armed forces of the Russian Federation (as amended on February 7, 2017).”

The naval uniform of the Navy is divided into groups:

• sailor suit;
• casual uniform of sailors;
• dress uniform of the Russian Navy;
• military uniform for female military personnel;
• demobilization uniform.

Russian Navy sailor uniform

Sailor is the entry-level military rank in the navy and corresponds to the rank of "private" on land. The daily uniform of a sailor of the Russian Navy, called a robe or dress, is a sailor's work clothes, for everyone from the sailor to the chief petty officer. Its set includes a shirt (tunic), trousers, collar, trump cap and shoes.

Over the hundred years of its existence, the shirt has not acquired any special changes in its appearance. The back and front are seamless, with a wide collar. There is a patch pocket on the front, on which the combat number is applied with waterproof black paint, and the pocket itself should contain a “Combat Book” (a memo with all the duties, the ship’s schedule, the tactical and technical characteristics of the assigned weapon and its number).

It is allowed to wear a pea coat, coat or overcoat over the shirt. It is prohibited to appear on deck in a blue shirt, since it is worn only when working in the engine room and hold.

The dark blue sailor's trousers have not changed their appearance since Peter the Great's time. The model of the waist belt has changed slightly since the times of the USSR and now the emblem of the Russian Navy is on its plaque, but without the anchor with a star.

The sailor collar is worn on top of the shirt, and the three stripes on it are in honor of the great victories of the Russian fleet at Cape Gangut, in the Chesme and Sinop battles.

Headdresses in the navy are presented in the table.

Appearance	Name	Description

		Beret made of black wool and with a golden cockade with an image of an anchor
	Cap	Black cap with two white inserts and a golden cockade

In addition to these items of clothing, each sailor has a vest, gloves and a hat with earflaps.

The most famous naval shoes are ship boots (pictured) and yuft shoes (in the navy they are called “burnouts” with leather or “bastards” with rubber soles), which replaced boots in the post-revolutionary period. They are reportedly made from kangaroo leather and, due to the elastic, become very uncomfortable over time.

In connection with the ongoing reform in the Russian army and the change in appearance, these boots were replaced by modern-looking patent leather boots with laces from BTK groups.

Of course, depending on weather conditions, sailors on a ship can wear tarpaulin boots and sandals.

When sewing a dress uniform, the main requirements are following the traditions of the Russian army, the quality of the fabric and the possibility of frequent use.

The military reform did not bypass the uniform of sailors, who can now wear an astrakhan beret in addition to a cap and a hat with earflaps.

Navy demobilization uniform

Changes in military legislation that took place in 2007 reduced the period of conscription military service from two years to one year. This was done due to the need to combat hazing (“hazing”) and the transition to a contract basis.

According to the old unspoken rules, a soldier who served for up to 6 months was considered a newcomer and had no rights, and was obliged to follow the orders of the senior conscript.

After serving for 6 months, a soldier becomes a scoop, and the scope of rights increased due to the arrival of young recruits. Next came the “elephant” (from a year to a year and a half) and the one who had a hundred days left to serve was considered a “demob.”

In this regard, the preparation of the demobilization uniform of the Navy began precisely at this time with the help of the most competent and hard-working soldiers of the junior conscription. The uniform was sewn to fit the figure, new chevrons and stripes were sewn onto the sleeves, preferably with solid inscriptions (Special Forces, Special Force, etc.). An aiguillette must be sewn on, and the shoulder straps had to be white and gold and, of course, with an anchor.

The collar of the jacket was trimmed in the manner of an admiral's with white threads, and plastic inserts were installed in the breast pockets. They did not forget about the badges received or purchased during the service. Usually these were insignia, commemorative medals, a “Warrior-Athlete” badge, etc.
