SIZE GUIDE – TALIT & TSITSIT
Choosing the right size will help you enjoy a comfortable and well-fitting Talit.
Use the tables below as a guide. If you are unsure between two sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size.
🕍 TALIT GADOL – ADULT
The size of a Talit Gadol mainly depends on your height and on how you wish to wear your Talit.
| Talit Size | Person’s Height | Generally Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| 45 | 1.40 – 1.45 m | Smaller size / light coverage |
| 50 | 1.50 – 1.55 m | Small to medium height |
| 55 | 1.55 – 1.70 m | Medium height |
| 60 | 1.70 – 1.75 m | Medium to tall |
| 70 | 1.75 – 1.85 m | Tall |
| 80 | 1.85 m and above | Very tall / more full coverage |
Tip: If you prefer to wear your Talit with more coverage, or if you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
👦 CHILDREN’S TALIT
For children, the size should be chosen mainly according to the child’s height and build, rather than age alone.
