It’s just a standard brown CXL that they stock.

I thought it was, but I was unsure. I have the CXL overdye from JL. I have yet to get it wet. It has been a tough nut to crack. I'm sure one of these days it will get soaked. I am sure it can handle it and I hope it will quiet down a little after it gets soaked.

Your jacket is looking good and breaking in nicely.

Just home from a very long and sun drenched vacation in my favorite place on earth, Union Pier MI. Thanks to @nick123, I have this unbelievably nice Aero (modified) original Herc in blk/brown vic. What a jacket!!! Serious heft, beautiful grain…I could not have drawn up a better fit if I tried. I am over the moon. All the mods are exactly as I’d want them. This is an exit piece. There’s little left for me to get after. Aero has really out done themselves on this and my wool jacket. The repro vs original see saw balance has tipped yet again.
I have attempted to recreate @jonesy86 epic catalog photo below. LOL. I actually might need a legit fedora. Oh the humanity.

^^ Really sharp there Tony, the Vicenza fits that jacket & style perfectly. Wear & Enjoy it there!
Still probably 3 months out for any real wear! You know how these midwestern summers tend to stretch into October. I will say this is my third blk/brown vic jacket (one was just passing through as a proxy) and each time I’ve really liked it. While I’m. Not really a vic guy the blk brown is different. It’s far stiffer and just feels much more robust.
