I do not want something formal, e.g. a suit jacket worn on its own. But I also do want something that is an actual blazer/sport jacket, i.e. not something that's really just a heavy shirt or something like that. Nothing that is aggressively "stylish".
for this kind of look you should not be looking for something cut like a traditional navy sportcoat but in a black fabric. Although you wrote that you don't want anything "aggressively 'stylish'" I think you have to deliberately go more stylish in the cut. IMO a natural-shouldered black blazer with 3.5" lapels is exactly what you don't want to do. For example, think more structured shoulders and bigger lapels and/or a slouchier DB worn open. I like the jacket that @ladislav.jancik posted above. I am a big fan of Husbands Paris -- this is sold out but just to give you another idea:
