Not an halachic question, but we can read many things about talis katan: wool over cotton, tzitzis out or in, etc. It seems that the Lithuanian minhag was to tuck them in, but what about the material? Was it cotton as a majority? What about Slobodka, Mir, Vilna, etc.: any differences?

If you are referring to the yeshivos of Slabodka and Mir, I would be surprised if they had specific personal minhagim, as students congregated there from many towns. – YDK Aug 6 '12 at 3:50
You're right ! So let's focus on Lithuanian minhag. – Frank Aug 6 '12 at 8:07
I'm not sure, but you might find your answer in the book Minhagei Lita for information dealing with Litvishe Minhagim. It was authored by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Poliakoff ZY"A, the father of a Rebi and Chavrusa of mine. – Adam Mosheh Aug 6 '12 at 16:13
I've checked in sefer Minhagei Lita and there is no mention of beged material. Could you ask to a suitable acquaintance ? Thanks – Frank Aug 18 '12 at 23:04
IIRC, the sefer Minhagei Lita does mention that the Lithuanian custom was to tuck them in. – Adam Mosheh Aug 20 '12 at 16:04
