The black blazer is good but not as good as navy -- though it may not seem like much difference, black presents a whole different vibe.
I also note that you can tie a necktie properly. That's always good.
You probably know this already, but one thing to keep in mind with double breasted jackets is that they look horribly sloppy when unbuttoned. DB's are always buttoned. The rigid code with SB's is that they are unbuttoned when you sit. I have tried to follow that code and it always feels awkward buttoning and unbuttoning. I don't think they look bad unbuttoned. Others may have their opinion.
And vests (waistcoats to our associates from the UK) are a very nice option with or without a jacket. I'd love to have a couple myself someday.
As for the coat, Tomasso has offered a couple of really nice suggestions. You might want to pop into the Adventurer's Gear thread. They can dig up some nice stuff. Ultimately, you may want to spring for a nice leather jacket. I like them when the weather is right for a light jacket and they can look really stylish.
Keep up the good work my man.
