Marine uniforms of the Russian Navy for sailors and submariners, old and new, for sailors and officers, everyday, demobilization and dress

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.

History of the Marine Corps

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Russian army used Peter’s infantry regiments to enter the Baltic Sea, which successfully completed their task and drove the Swedes out of that water area. This is how the Marine Corps was formed, and in 1705 Peter 1 issued a decree on its creation.

In 1804, the naval regiments were sent as reinforcements to the Mediterranean Sea to the squadron of D.N. Senyavin. The Russian fleet and its marine corps were able to prevail in battles with superior forces of the enemy fleet. Also, the domestic marines took part in the confrontation for access to the Sea of Azov.

Admiral F.F. Ushakov, during his Mediterranean campaign in 1798-1800, had at his disposal, including marines. Thanks to those military operations, the Ionian Islands were liberated, naval units took the impregnable fortress of Corfu and Naples with Rome.

The naval guards crew participated in the war from 1812 to 1814, and the first Russian flag erected in Paris was the St. Andrew's naval flag. The naval units went through the entire Russian-Turkish war from 1877 to 1878.

In 1917, the Soviet Marine Corps appeared, which took an active part in the civil war, and later, in 1940, in the Soviet-Finnish war.

During the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet command often used marine units for combat operations on land in extremely difficult situations at the front. They were highly resilient and instilled fear in the German troops. In modern history, the Marine Corps has participated in combat operations in various hot spots.

Sailor casual uniform

What is the most common new naval suit for 2022? 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 in 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 2020, 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.

Additions from 1964

Since August 1964, some changes have been made to the infantryman's dress uniform. Black cloth trousers were worn at graduation, and chrome boots were issued instead of shoes. For just one year, changes affected the appearance of the shoulder straps. The red edgings provided for officers were abolished already in 1965.

For MP troops performing missions in areas with high-temperature (hot, humid) climates, a special version of the uniform is provided. It is represented by a beige Panama hat and a short-sleeve shirt. The material for the shoulder straps is the same as for the shirt. Trousers were worn for graduation, and sandals were used as shoes. Soldiers and sailors were required to wear a blue jacket and shorts. The specificity of the style was that the sleeve of the jacket was short, like the sleeve of the shirt.

Since 1967, a red pennant has been placed on the beret. It is still considered one of the symbols of the Marine Corps. For soldiers who took part in the Victory Parade in Moscow, the pennant was located on both sides. When the box passed through Red Square, the mausoleum with stands was on the right, so the pennant was duplicated.

In 1969, the cockade on the beret changed. It is now oval shaped. The picture is presented with a golden border, inside of which there is a red star on a black background. This sign was assigned only to the cockade for berets. There were no analogues in other branches of the military.

Clothing, defined as everyday clothing and intended for marches or field trips, did not differ in appearance among all ranks, but the material was different. Officers were entitled to a shirt and trousers made of polystyrene, and sailors from cotton wool. Sailors wore the PSh only during routine checks of the highest level. Armrests can be seen on the shirts, and knee pads on the trousers.

At the November 1972 parade, MP troops were represented by soldiers in black suits with white aiguillettes. Now every demobilization officer considers it his duty to decorate his uniform with this element, although it never became statutory.

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 boots. 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.

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.

Next, let's look at the Navy office uniform. For 2022, the office uniform is a set of:

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.

Uniform requirements

Fabric is the sergeant major. It is a dark dense material. Its advantage is that it is not subject to shedding, wrinkles, and is resistant to stains.
There are two pockets on the front of the shirt - one on the front side, the other on the back. Both pockets are located on the left. The front side has a slit, fastened with a button using a loop. Also, two buttons are located on the wrong side at the end of the cut. At the back of the neck there is a button for fastening the collar. The shoulder straps consist of the same fabric as the shirt and are sewn on top. A small white tag is sewn to the front pocket of the shirt, on which a special combat number is applied.
The front half of the trousers has two pockets. The front has a lapel with clasps or buttons.
The belt is made of leather and has a shiny buckle with the official Navy emblem.
The collar is blue, sewn from cotton fabric. It has three snow-white lines along the edge of the front side. The collar has long ends on both sides, which have a hole for fastening to the shirt (two buttons at the end of the cut on the wrong side).
Two ribbons, 35 centimeters each, are sewn to the back of the cap. Several options for the inscription: name of the ship, type of fleet, type of force, “Russian Navy”. The ends of these ribbons are decorated with a golden anchor. On the front there is a cockade with the same anchor as the ends of the ribbons.
The cap also has a cockade (golden anchor).
The front side of the radiation safety suit has a pocket (on the left) with a serial combat number. Under this special number the distinctive sign “RB” is made.
A golden hairpin is attached to the tie of senior ranks.

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).
