Interesting, is that a 6x2-roll-1? I'm having a double breasted jacket made now and I really like the look of a 6x2 with the Y buttoning, but there's also this sort of urge to sometimes have the super 80s low-slung look of 6x1. Barring the fact that on a true 80s 6x1, the buttons would be in a V and only one would be truly functional, is it a "thing" that works to just roll your lapels down to the bottom row of buttons on a 6x2 to get a poor-man's 6x1 look? Or is this jacket specifically cut to have this double-breasted 3-roll-2 look and wouldn't actually function as a 6x2?

......Barring the fact that on a true 80s 6x1, the buttons would be in a V and only one would be truly functional....

No,is a transformable double breasted.
(see the link below):


P.S.
The true pure 6x1 is not a 80s thing,but exist from 40s at least.

Interesting about the Rubinacci double breasted... is that not something I could just do though with any jacket (as I saw posted above)? For example if I take a single breasted jacket and button the bottom button, the lapel will roll out more to it (not that I would ever actually wear this in a single breasted). This is actually a specifically tailored effect? It seems like it could be achieved either by just leaving the top unbuttoned or with some sort of pressing but maybe I am missing something.

EDIT: I actually found some more examples of this that seem to just be preferential buttoning + natural roll.

EDIT2: However looking at lordsuperb's post above it doesn't look like maybe the effect is as desired on that jacket. The roll seems to stay the same pretty much in spite of the buttoning change. I suppose I will ask my tailor when I see him next about his opinion. If he thinks it is reasonable I'll ask him to make sure the middle button hole is finished on both sides and to make a vest as well.

I asked my tailor to make me a 6x2 r 1 where the lapels roll at a lower point.

He scoffed and said to just do a 6x2 and button the bottom button to achieve the look. I trusted him and didn't get what I wanted in the final product .

Also, Luca's suits are made in Milan. I'm under the impression that the double breasted suits made in milan are synonymous for the buttoning style.
