I've seen fitted tallisim katanim with buttons connected the front and back for smooth wear. Could you also add buttons and button holes to a tallis gadol to hellp it stay on? Or would that disqualify it for the mitzvah?

1I can't think of a reason why it would, but +1 for the interesting question. It should be noted that R' Yoel Bin Nun is known for wearing a suit jacket with Tzitzith attached (the split in the jacket has been accentuated to make the garment require it).– Seth JJun 3, 2013 at 13:51

@DoubleAA So it appears from the link that buttons would not remove its status as a garment needing tzitzis because they are temporary. I'm curious why no one has ever considered putting buttons on a tallis gadol. I have one that is too large and it is falling off all of the time.– Bruce JamesJun 3, 2013 at 18:10

Do the buttons change it from a four-cornered garment? I could use a better description of the placement and function of the buttons. (A picture would be nice.)– ShmuelApr 18, 2014 at 3:53

@Shmuel -- that is the gist of my question. I invision that the button causes the tallis to have either more or less corners, but is not permanent.– Bruce JamesApr 18, 2014 at 8:53
