Hey D. It's well worth the wait!
I have one, in more of an LC bash and it draws regular positive
comments at work and when I'm out at meetings.
I had a breakfast event last year, that had a Hotel staff guy stop in
his tracks and blurt out "Wow..that is a fantastic hat".
The Grey is very classy. Has a underlying brownish hue that allows you
to wear it with your Wested, blue shirt, and gold tie.
You have indeed chosen wisely!
Mind you, I opted for the "Non-turned" version.
It has less Character but a bit more formal eh.
Anyway...don't fret, time is cheap, a good AB is worth the waite.
Cheers
