Reply To: Tznius of the legs – Oz V’hadar Levusha

The chassidim say to wear a long garb because the Jews borrowed clothing from Mitzraim and were told to put it on their sons. Why, because it was too short for them. I think there is no proof as if you need clothing and the children, they come first. A pious men is not left behind and his children look for bread as his children will come first, so he will make sure his children are fed.
