I got mine from David Morgan. Here's a pic. Sorry about the background. We were at Disneyland right before Christmas:

Thanks for the pic Blackthorn. I like that color and crease . Helped me make my decision as for the Charcoal Grey you folks call Black, looks Charcoal Grey to me. It looks to match exactly a Charcoal grey pinstripe suit I have. And I have a BLACK suit in a hard worsted wool and folks it is NOT the same ! It is DARK for sure, but it is NOT Black

And here is the attempted porkpie bash, there is still a little dent in front but it doesn't want to be deeper, sorry can't see the top (it's telescopic) - notice the new ribbon!

That one has a very modern look.

Here is a visual comparison of Leisure Time (Regency Fawn) and Sydney (Charcoal)

How tough is it to change out the band? I like that Leisure Time but would rather have a ribbon band.

I went to a local hatter to replace the ribbon on Sydney - $30.
