Drape suit advice.

I've been wanting to make a suit that has a full chest and the exaggerated lapel roll of the 1930s and 40s, and I noticed by pattern all the suits that had that kind of lapel roll were "3 roll 2" jackets.

I wanna ask if my observation is correct and I should go for a 3 roll 2 jacket, or is it no different from a normal 2 button jacket? (mainly concerning the lapel roll)

I also wanna ask what's the best kind of wool in terms of weight and (high twist?) to make a suit like that, thanks in advance :)

Is this Denin selvedge (the orange one)

I couldn't help but notice that the edge of the fabric is very neat compares to the other denim I have (picture 2), it doesn't fray or anything and the edge looks way neater than the other denims so I thought something must be different atleast, the width is abt 150cm. got it from a fabric store in old cairo.
