Question
Do I have to do Hatarat Nedarim in order to stop wearing a Gartel?
Answer
If you started wearing the Gartel since you thought that is the Halacha - you do not need to do Hatarat Nedarim since you did it by mistake, but if you started wearing it as a Hidur Mitzvah or Minhag, you can't stop wearing it without Hatarat Nedarim.
