[Avodah] Briskers not wearing Tzitzis outside on shabbos

[Joel Schnur via Avodah]

My understanding is that Briskers don't wear a talis katan outside the 
house on shabbos because the shiur is "ad habirchaim" according to the 
Gaon as brought in Keser Rosh by talmidei Reb Chaim Voloshiner. And 
since "until the knees" is a subjective criterion depending upon each 
person's height, there is no specific "one size fits all" length.

Interestingly, Rav Moshe Shternbuch brings a Rav Moshe  that says that 
the source is unreliable and the Gaon never said such a thing.
