If your jacket arrives and it doesn't fit or there is a problem with it your stuck.
How do I know? Because I bought one and it didn't fit so I called and email Pop's Leather many times trying to get my situation resolved. I never received a return call, never. I received two return emails, one asking for pictures and one saying they were going to ship a new jacket. Well they went as fare as creating a shipping label but that's about it.
Try calling the #800 on the Pop's Leather website...it's an answering service for two companies. I had to file a dispute with my credit card company in an attempt to get the situation resolved.
If the jacket is perfect for you you'll have a great jacket but if it isn't don't expect any resolution.
wow.. talk about timing.
I too order a custom jacket from Pops back in the 1st week of Dec. Having dealt with them from my times in Incirlik, I really liked their work (Both my USAF A2 and a German WWII Luftwaffe Jacket they made).
Unfortunately, the jacket arrived too big. Did the phone call and sent an email. Got a response on the email but like CS said, no follow up on the email and no return calls.
I too have started a dispute with my (United) CC.
It's too bad, as the leather and workmanship is really top notch. Problem is, if it doesn't fit- then what?
Will be going with a Gibson & Barnes Jacket next.. but only if/when I can get down there a try some on myself.
At least those of you looking for options on the leather jacket now have a few recent updates.
Always

PS> If your a USAF guy who can get into Incirlik, I'd still recommend the jacket then~
