I would really like to see some A&S jackets posted, not old photos but modern Internet Gentlemen wearing them.

But, back to mafoofan. His jacket is great, but the skinny pants make it work (it's the whole package, so to speak).

I think one thing that is forgotten in this discussion is the idea of preference. There are many ways for a jacket to fit correctly, but you or I will not like the way they all look. There are many, many jackets I have seen on these sites which others love, and which I hate. Some of Uppercase's would fall into that realm, and some not. I don't think any are terrible.
Shooey, you seem to have definite ideas as to what sucks and what does not, but you haven't shown any examples. I don't mean that you need to show one of yourself, but at least one of a picture you think looks good. Better would be a non-professional photograph. To me, that would help make your criticisms more clear.
Marc is absolutely right about A&S in that they ignore customer requests, ship stuff that doesn't fit, and then make a face at requests to fix it. Tell them you want a quarter lining and they may grant you a half. Request something a bit off the beaten path and they refuse altogether.
I like the cut but it's refreshing to work with tailors who will actually do what you request.
