A real answer to the various questions requires knowing your circumstances (like your workplace environment) and what you look like. If you're looking for an excuse to buy more, then of course you can go ahead and buy more. Probably the best response was, "Get one that is different," but most people would be inclined to do that anyway. Edit: if you think you need two in the rotation, then yes, probably another (maybe a basic like a two-button, single-breasted charcoal) is needed, because they sound rather "old man" for a young guy and corduroy is not normally worn year-round.

Based on the information provided, it would seem you need several additional sport coats in your rotation to include a couple of tweeds, in colors that compliment your complexion, and an additional navy Blazer, because it is a staple in any properly dressed gentleman's wardrobe and gets worn so frequently.

If you go for casual (pairing with jeans and khakis), my choices for sportcoats would be:

Some earth toned tweed
Gray herringbone
Black corduroy
Blue pinstripe

preferably 2 BTN and single vented.
