Nonslip Tallit

In recent years nonslip tallits have gained popularity quite quickly. Today we received the following, very short inquiry from parents shopping for a nonslip tallit for their son.

Which is the tallis that does not fall off?

The truth is that any tallit can fall off, but in recent years tallit makers started developing special textured weaves that help keep the tallit in place. Tallit sellers often call these a "nonslip tallit," which is probably a touch of hyperbole, but I have had customers rave about how well they stay put on their shoulders.

My own Shabbos tallit has this nonslip tallit fabric (sometimes referred to as a box weave or waffle weave) and I'm quite happy with it. Beyond the nonslip factor, the tallitfabric is supple and has a nice feel to it.

If you go to the search box on the upper right of our webstore and enter "nonslip" you will see a wide range of nonslip tallit options, or try this link.

We have a lot of resources on the upper navigation bar to help you choose the right tallit, the right tzitzit, etc., and if you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
