Quick update
Well, I got the Stillwater Blackshadow Heavyweight, and hooboy, is it different than the SK! I absolutely love this thing. I've worn it to all my classes for the past three days, had several nice comments, etc. And the pleats are doing VERY well indeed.
But that's not the update. The update is that when my girlfriend saw me in it (boots, SWK, and green t-shirt) she just smiled, and a bit later whispered (we were in a class) "That looks really cool. Much better than the other one."
So somebody want to tell me why I was worried?
Thank you Stillwater, and thank you guys.

Edit: and it does very well while playing cello, as well.

We shall not cease from exploration/ And the end of all our exploring/ Will be to arrive where we started/ And know the place for the first time. <><
