As I said on the 9th in response to RYL posting about an OU email on
the subject (same email? same series?)... I HIGHLY recommend seeing the
AhS's discussion of the machloqes. OC 18:1-8
<https://www.sefaria.org/Arukh_HaShulchan%2C_Orach_Chaim.18.1-8>

If you missed my post of then, it's at
https://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol38/v38n094.shtml#03

In se'if 1, he cites the Rosh (reish Hil' Tzitzis) that the fact the
clothing is determined by time is enough to qualify as hazeman gerama.

(I would also recommend joining AhS Yomi. We're about to begin
Oz veHadar's vol II, so it's a good time to get started. See
http://aishdas.org/ahs-yomi for a schedule and other tools (including
RYGB's daily shiur, for those who need / want one), and there is
a Facebook group if you want to be in contact with others on the
program. It's an average of 1,100 words a day, which comes to 15-20 min
for most people. RYGB's YouTube shiurim usually come in at just above 20.
You get to be someone who is meshaneh halakhos bekhol yom AND have some
intellectual "fun" of learning halakhah-as-process rather than as a list
of rulings.)

Tir'u baTov!
