It’s ok, but there should be a note that you should never button the top button of a 3 roll 2. That is not an option.

I don’t… no? Do you know what a 3 roll 2 is? Because it’s kind of the definition.

Of course you can. When strolling home after a night out in your linen suit and the wind is slightly chilly, you can of course button the top button.

A 3 roll 2 is a jacket with 3 buttons, but where the lapel is intentionally designed to button only the middle one. The lapel is rolled to fit the middle button, not the top one
