# If one wears more than one four-cornered garment they are all obligated in tzitzit but the beracha is only recited on the first one that he puts on.

# It is permissible to recite the beracha on a borrowed tallit. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Lech Lecha Halacha 5 </ref>
# A Tallit which one borrows directly from its owner in order to fulfill the mitzvah of wearing a Tallit, one can recite the beracha, because we assume that the owner gives it as a present on condition that it is returned. However, it's better to avoid this situation. Additionally, if the Tallit is donated to the shul, one may borrow it and make a bracha on it.<ref> Ben Ish Chai Lech Lecha Halacha 5 </ref>

# One should check the tzitzit to make sure they are not tangled and they are kosher before putting it on. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 8:7, Rambam Hilchot Tzitzit 1:8. Ben Ish Chai Bereishit Halacha 3 writes that if one checked it and then placed it in its bag, he doesn't have to check the next time he puts it on. </ref>
