BTW, tzitzis in or out is a machlokes. The Arizal would wear his tallis kattan, tzitzis and all, under his other garments. Rav Chaim Vital explained that this was because the tallis kattan and the tallis gadol relate to two kinds of reality: the internal reality (pnimius) and the external reality (chitzunius). The tallis kattan represents the internal level and is therefore worn within other garments, while the tallis gadol represents the external and is therefore worn over the other garments. (Pri Etz Chaim, Shaar Tzitzis I.)
