Wool Tzitzis for Boys, Round Neck 2-Hole Slanted Chabad, Sizes 8-16

The Chabad beged in wool, sized for boys 8 to 16 — round neck, two slanted holes at each corner, cut the way keshiras Chabad requires. A boy in these sizes is wearing what his father wears, only smaller, and the slanted corner is not something that can be improvised on a beged that was not made for it.

Sizes 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16, with meyuchad strings tied on by machine, or ordered bli with the corners left empty. Meyuchad is what most boys this age wear day to day. Bli is the choice in homes where the strings are tied by a particular person, which in Chabad families is common enough to be the default.

Wool on a boy is a decision about Shabbos more than about weekdays. It is warmer than cotton, it hangs properly, and it looks like the beged of someone who is nearly a man. For a boy heading toward his bar mitzvah it is a reasonable thing to move him into, and the size range runs right up to the point where he shifts into adult numbers.
