I concur with Micha's point. Baruch Shkivanti becasue i have been advocating
this peshat in Tallis Katan for years, i.e. a Tallis OF a Katan.

However, an Israelit friend of mine pointed out that "Tallis"  may indeed be
masculine.   His Proof?  The plural is  Talisos  [Talitot] and NOT Taliyot
which would correspond to  Ta'anis and Taa'niyos.  Therefore, his claim is
that this  is indeed a masculine term ending in Sof [to] jsut like "Bayis".
