Lightweight Kittel with Shoulder Pads, Bekishe Fit #2110

Nothing is worked onto 2110. No lace, no emblem, no crystal — a lightweight kittel in the bekishe cut with shoulder pads, in plain white, and that is the complete specification. A good number of men look at the decorated designs, decide they want none of it, and buy exactly this.

Eight chest sizes from 34 to 48 and four lengths from small to X-large give thirty-two combinations before the fabric is even chosen, and poly cotton and linen are both made across the whole range. A plain kittel lives or dies on its fit, since there is no trim to look at instead, so it repays getting both numbers right rather than only one of them.

Plain also means it never looks out of place. A kittel with a distinctive lace can start to feel of its period after fifteen years; this one will look the same in twenty years as it does today, which is a reasonable thing to want from a garment worn on Yom Kippur.
