FS: Freewheelers Centinela size 42

[Mr. Hide]

Hello All!

Up for sale is a Freewheelers Centinela size 42 in "rude black". Purchased virtually brand new from a member here December 2023. While this is The pinnacle of leather jackets I've always wanted in my collection, sadly my ongoing ambitions at the gym have shut me out of the zips on this Centinela.

Every facet of this jacket is amazing and without compromise - including the body IT chooses to possess. The ladies have Vera Wang and us gentleman have this HA! This example is in immaculate condition. No rips, tears, stains, odors, creases. I've only worn this jacket a handful of times in the home to admire. Original tags also included.

Further information about this jacket can be found here: https://www.brogueshop.com/products...JFF4tM8BZWi4eF1XQYRPZoThvEY8W3qoREIX3ch4YZeXH

Asking $2,850 shipped within CONUS. Buyers outside the region will be responsible for additional shipping cost. Preferred Paypal G&S transaction with a detailed invoice.

Happy to answer any questions.

Cheers and thanks for looking!
-Chris

Is there a picture of the front? Also, do you mind posting measurements of the actual jacket or does it line up with the website?

The front can be seen in IMG_6307 and Centinela1 (image 4 and image 6, from left to right top to bottom). Sorry the files got all scrambled when uploading for some reason. I believe measurements are consistent with Brogue's site but I can provide them as well in the next few days.

Apologies, they weren’t showing up on my phone. I have salivated over this jacket for a long time. I think I need a 40 though.

No worries. I would definitely suggest sizing up from your regular on this one as it has a pretty extreme taper in my experience. The pattern definitely favors someone with a slighter, tall build I think.

At 5'8" and 160bs. (last year) I was able to reasonably fit in this jacket. 15 lbs. later and it is absolutely unforgiving.

I’m usually a size 38-40 in freewheelers. I’ll take a look at your measurements and make a call then. Thanks!

Here is how the speed master fits in 42 on me. You can see the chest is a little large on me and the waist.

 

[Mr. Hide]

Accounting for individual preferences in fit is always a bit difficult. I prefer some extra in the arms and shoulders for better mobility and fitting into the Centinela is a bit of a stretch at this point. Also a hard call when trying to determine sizing for a different jacket pattern. If I learned anything from my search, it's that measurements only provide a very general guide. Only trying on the jacket in the flesh will confirm whether the fit is good for you.

From the looks of it, I think your Speed Master in a 42 is fitting you the best it can. Maybe with some room to spare in the chest but I don't think the sleeve and vertical length should be any shorter IMO. Then again, I don't own any other Freewheelers to say for sure that a size down would help or if the Centinela is cut particularly narrow. I can only say that it fits like a bespoke body suit. From chest to hem it narrows significantly.

Hello,

Can you post the jacket measurements when you get a chance? There’s always a bit of variation between online measurements on websites, and the measurements taken direct from an actual jacket.

thanks.

UPDATE: Here are some more photos alongside a soft measuring tape.

*Some areas were a bit tricky to measure just laying the tape over so with the garment and tape pulled taut:
-Pit to pit is right under 52cm
-width midway from pit to hem is just under 47cm
-hem 45cm

Thank you. It's a very trim silhouette for sure. This jacket definitely warrants the disclaimer.
