Seth,
I suspect that you should visit your fellow Leica friend Dr. Yao in Hong
Kong.  While there, order some custom suits made from a good tailor and,
being custom, you can request construction details as desired.  Good food,
good conversation, photogenic city, good suit of clothes, and a vacation to
boot.

I suspect you could do the same in London or Milan if you prefer a different
local.

Who could ask for anything more?
