A first set of tzitzis that actually gets worn by young children. This is Mefoar's popular Perf-Tzit undershirt tzitzis design, made to Chabad standards and in kids’ sizes 2-7. It’s soft enough for your upsherin boy still getting used to tzitzit, and flexible and sturdy enough to withstand recess shenanigans.
What makes it Chabad style
Made in accordance with Chabad halachic standards:
- Two holes at each corner
- Tied according to Chabad halachic preference
- Meyuchad strings, tied by hand and certified by the most stringent tzitzis hashgachos
Comfort for first-time wearers
Wearing tzitzis for the first time is a big step for a small child. The soft cotton jersey knit feels like an undershirt, and is tagless at the neck, so even the most sensory-sensitive kids won't feel it. The V-neck sits low, so it stays out of sight under his shirt. The true-to-size fit won’t bunch up under his clothes.
Fabric, fit and sizing
Made from soft cotton jersey knit that holds up, wash after wash. Kids’ sizes run 2–7. See the size chart.

Washing & Care
Use Tzitzit Protector on strings to prevent tangling. Wash on a gentle/delicate cold cycle. Remove string protectors and lay flat or hang to dry.
Common questions
How is this different from the adult Chabad undershirt?
The kids' tzitzis are available in smaller sizes, and use Meyuchad strings rather than Avodas Yad. Both tzitzis types are hand-tied under stringent halachic oversight.
Will it stay in place when he’s running around?
Yes. The true-to-size fit keeps it from bunching under his shirt, and the jersey knit moves with him.
What should I look for in a first set of tzitzis?
Comfort and halacha. Mefoar's Perf-tzit brings both!
Can he wear it under a school shirt?
Yes. The V-neck sits below the collar line, so it doesn’t show above an open collar.
Is there an adult version?
Yes. See Chabad Undershirt Tzitzis, in adult sizes 18–28.
