Cotton Tzitzis, Adult Round Neck 1-Hole Keshiras Ashkenaz Avodas Yad

Round neck, one hole, keshiras Ashkenaz — the combination most Ashkenazishe men buy without thinking twice, in plain 100% cotton. The round neck is the simplest opening: it pulls on over the head, sits flat under a shirt collar and has nothing to gap or twist during the day. The corners take a single hole, with the strings drawn through and tied by hand.

Sizes 18 to 28. The number is the one you already wear; if you are between numbers, take the larger, because a beged that rides up is a beged you stop wearing. Thin avodas yad is the everyday hand-tied string. Thick avodas yad is heavier and more visible, the choice for a man who wants his tzitzis to hang with more presence. Bli sends the beged with no strings on it at all.

This is the pair a man buys three of before Pesach and then stops thinking about. Cotton against the skin, no wool weight in the summer months, and inexpensive enough that you replace rather than repair when a corner finally goes. Bochurim in yeshiva go through them faster than anyone plans for, so the drawer is worth stocking.
