I strongly agree - it IS the best look - but only fasten the middle button.. I have never bought a sports jacket, blazer or suit with two-button fastening and never shall.
"Three roll two" is unknown on this side of the italian border.

FTFY.

I wouldn't even shorten them.

There is even 3 roll to 2 1/2. These are probably custom made.

After ten or so years, the top button just seems to roll over on its own, perhaps from lack of use
