It is built to the same superior standard as our Rashi pair: 42 mm gassot batim in the Chabad 4x4 size, perudos compartments closed with the Chabad dalet knot, hand-worked straps, and parshiyos written by a sofer who specializes in ksav Alter Rebbe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies inside the boxes, in the order of the parshiyos.

The everyday pair follows Rashi, and to honor both opinions at the highest level of hiddur, the widespread minhag, especially in Chabad, is to also lay a Rabbeinu Tam pair after davening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is that second pair. It is worn by one who already keeps this hanhaga, laid once the Rashi pair is removed, and it should be stored and clearly identified apart from the primary pair so the two are never confused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlter Rebbe Gassot Batim, 42 mm Chabad 4x4\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike our Rashi pair, these boxes are gassot, pressed from a single thick piece of hide at the larger 42 mm Chabad 4x4 size, chosen for beauty and for the stringency of fully-formed letters. Each must sit perfectly square, meruba, on its titura (תִּיתּוֹרָא, base), a shape only true gassot leather can hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are gassot, the boxes can be re-blackened and repaired over a lifetime rather than discarded, im yirtzeh Hashem serving for generations.
