OK, so from BT Sukah 42a
<http://dafyomi.org/index.php?masechta=succah&daf=42a&go=Go> and ​RaMBaM
H.Tzitzis 3 <http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/2403n.htm>:8-10 all the way
through MB 17:10 (who misunderstood MaHaRYL, but that's a different

non-Yekke Ashk'nazim to not wear a *talis gadol* (and thereby fulfill *ituf*)
until marriage is *shtus*?

All the best from
