I would advice using the authentic method and make the shirt with alternating rows of rivetted and full links.
It would be a shame to invest so much time in making a butted shirt that is not authentic... You can buy a butted
Making a correctly patterned shirt is a lot of work though. For the amount of money you can get a decent roman mailshirt these days I would think you can do better things with the hundreds of hours you would need to make one yourself, but that's of course a personal opinion....
Vale,
