help with Corbin tweed patchwork blazer/jacket

Hello Vintagers!
I have a few questions about this jacket.
1. When would you date this to?
2. Would you describe this as a 'Patchwork Tweed' ? Or is there a better term?
3. Is the back a) badly sewn or b) purposefully offset?

Thanks alot,
Lauren

Hi, It looks 70s to me. I think patchwork tweed is fine. I have no idea what else to call it either. The back looks kind of unusual but it may be done on purpose.
 
I agree with Regan on the '70s dating, and patchwork tweed works - after all, it's made of a patchwork of tweed fabrics!

The back looks deliberate, after all, the front is offset too.
