I like the color, looks like darker than LW olive
Yes, totally different - I've just taken two pictures of the olive LW HH and the ortensia Badalassi

The Few X Mushmans Petrol green/Ortensia Badalassi...Badalassi more and more becomes my absolute favorite leather. It feels soft and supple but substantial and almost as heavy as Horween CXFQHH but very robust similar to LW's HH. The smell of Badalassi leather is just intoxicating

This is how the ortensia color has developed over time...started to be brighter as pictured.

Wow! Hard to believe this is the same jacket...

@nick123 let me know how well that "action back" works - I'm thinking of ordering that modification on an Aero jacket myself sometime in the future but am curious if the design is actually effective in improving range of movement. Thanks!

As Handymike stated, they're definitely shoulder gussets rather than a full bi-swing/action back.
I'll report more when I have a shot to wear it.
