… ” During the week they would tie up their long coat, so as to be able to work without dragging it in the floor. But on shabbos, let it down long as a sign of no work, kovod shabbos. So wearing long on shabbos isn’t just a custom, it’s actually a halacha in shulchan aruch!
If so, the question really should be how come other chassidim wear bigdei shabbos all week? Not how come we don’t.
Also, if it’s a halacha, how come bochurim don’t wear long on shabbos?
