*BUMP*
Just remembered this thread from the summer.
Have since gone all the way up to XXL male adult tzitzit (and I’m a normal size guy by the way; by no means fat/overweight) and they’re STILL coming out!
So seemingly size doesn’t help.
Anyone got any solutions? Somehow, this is still a nuisance.
dannylondonMemberRight, well good to know I’m not the only one that’s been finding this a nuisance (I guess given that many non-Hasidim ‘tuck in’ that’s hardly surprising).
If anyone can think of a better solution to simply buying larger tzitzit (which will probably work, but adding more material doesn’t seem like an ideal fix) please shout out.
dannylondonMemberHaha, Curiosity!
I spend a substantial amount of my time working in areas where (besides for being Sephardic) it wouldn’t be safe to wear tzitzit exposed (or a kippah, for that matter), so I can identify with pretty much everything you’ve said.
I think in terms of irritation, the pecking order would go something like:
i) One group of tzitziot coming un-tucked (which looks ‘stranger’ than having them all out!).
ii) Just one STRING from a bundle sneaking out.
ii) A corner or corners of the beged poking out (looks especially bizarre when contrasted with a dark shirt).
iii) The riding up the neckline problem you mentioned.
dannylondonMemberThanks guys.
Actually, I had a larger pair, a string on which snapped recently.
This probably explains why I’ve only noticed the annoying ‘pop-outs’ this summer — because I’ve switched back to a medium pair which I hadn’t worn in years.
So I think I’ll just buy a new large pair, or maybe even XL just for t-shirt wearing.
It might be a bit baggy but it will be worth it not to have to re-tuck every five minutes.
