A Southern California chain that went out of business in 1991, so the blazer can't be any newer than that.
Age verdict: late-1960's (or very early 1970's), for 3 primary reasons:
1) the late 60's were a transitional period between the thin lapels of the early-mid-60's and the wide lapels of the 70's;
2) Deep vents started becoming popular in the late 60's;
3) Although the button one front reached its apex of popularity in the mid-60's, the button one cuff remained stylish for a couple years thereafter, even on button two and three fronts.
