THE best-fit for you, is normally by making a template of YOUR individual head-shape/contour and you`ll have a nice fit, when your customs arrives ....the stocks are fine and suit many wearers very well...indeed the materials and quality are exactly the same as custom-made...just that some bunching-up /pleating can occur ---it feels worse to you when you feel it with your fingers but in reality is actually quite small ..a minor annoyance [if it occurs] which you will not have once your custom-made system is delivered...

Paul,
Pleats, in the normal sense and, especially on that other site, do not refer to wrinkles that can form with the unit on your head, but rather the "darts" that the factory can put into the base. The link posted about shows a photo of a unit with a few pleats.
