You're slowly becoming the DDF resident R' Yisrael Salalnter.
CBC has got a point... am totally with him on this one.Not to knock ppl who buy a nice Esrog. But what's the deal with wearing an oisgemutched talis, if you get a new one every two years, it will cost you about a quarter a day.It is cheaper than your daily coffee.

Sentimental value?(Totally serious)
Well it happened to my father at our local Chinese cleaners. I remember when he brought it home all un knotted, I was LMAO.
if you do take it to the cleaners, take a bunch of tie wraps (those things that look like plastic handcuffs), loop the tzizit and cinch the tie wraps closed around them, it will keep the tzizit from getting tangled and frayed. When it comes back, cut the tied wraps with wire cutters and your talit will be clean and your tzizit will be fine. Same applies for washing your talit katan in the machine rather than hand washing it...
Now that's one of the most useful tips I've ever heard in my life!!!Can you post a pic? Seriously.

the mitzvah is the tzitzis, not the talis
Indeed it is but IMHO the beged is included. The loshon talis cannot be used because in chazal talis does not necessarily mean a talis shel mitzvah.ETA see MB 24:9 explicitly says talis also. Also see caf hachyim there 3.Also talis shel mitzvah is ossur to use for tashmish genay even if possul
Chazal do. If we don't understand a chazal that's brought down by the poskim in we don't call it preposterous.Learn hilcos tziziz, there are many halachos pertaining to the talis shel mitzvah.#mashgiach
Many say the Hadar by arba minim is derived from Zeh keli also.Btw the source for hiddur mitzva is a in shabbos 153b it even says that the cover for the sefer torah should be beautiful. Rashi in baba kama 9b says talis, tziziz, and Lulav noeh.
