    If I have static in an acrylic garment, I take a lightly dampened cloth and brush over the surface and that seems to short out the static a bit. I don't remember if I've had that problem in my SWK standard... But if you don't have static guard and get the static monsters while out and about, giv it a try.

    I used to go through a lot of static guard, back when I worked at CEC, we sprayed the floors with it all the time. Helped keep the machines running, so they believe.

    On my SWK Standard saffron I have the same problem of pleats separating up from the bottom of the fell. Many thanks, especially to Ted, for the help.

    I have done this on my Stillwater heavyweight, the key is slow and steady and constantly making sure that you have your pleat inline and set with the pleat underneath it. I had to take 2 tries at it before I got it right.

    And you are the one who saved me from the ordeal of searching by providing the links. That's why I'm thanking you.

    Live long and prosper, Ted.
