Is it valid to place tzitzit in the fringe/hem (gadil/oorilyzah) of the garment?
Synopsis
If the decorative fringe at the edge is wide (more than a thumb-joint), one may not place tzitzit in it — it is not considered part of the garment. However, it counts toward the required distance measurements since it is part of the garment structure.
