The "never button the bottom button" rule doesn't just apply to three-button suits. The only time you would technically button up the bottom button is if you have on a one-button jacket. Any other time you leave it undone.

This is because it helps the jacket drape over your waist and hips better. It gives you more range of motion and makes your lines look more flattering.

Here is a picture of him wearing one, although you can't see the top button:
