Franky Max Crest Embroidered Velvet Blazer
Franky Max · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Outerwear
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to Early 2010s (approx. 2008-2012) based on the bold 'urban-luxury' aesthetic and specific brand activity during that period.
Material
Velvet exterior (likely cotton or polyester blend) with a silk-like satin polyester lining in bright red. Features metallic thread embroidery and rhinestone/sequin embellishments.
Condition
Good. The velvet shows some visible lint and light surface dust. The embroidery and crest appear intact, but the lining shows some minor pulling/loosening near the printed graphic. No major tears or stains visible.
Demand Level
Niche. This appeals to specific buyers looking for 'Vegas-ready,' stage-wear, or gothic-chic styles. Higher demand during holiday/New Year's Eve seasons.

Description
Bold and stylish men's velvet blazer by Franky Max. Features a deep black velvet exterior with an intricate silver-toned crest embroidery on the chest. The interior is lined with a striking contrast red fabric featuring a large Franky Max logo graphic. Notched lapel, single-button closure, and flap pockets. Perfect for formal events with a rock-and-roll or gothic edge.
Key Features
High-contrast red lining with oversized branding; metallic crest embroidery; luxury streetwear aesthetic; discontinued brand with a niche following.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The branded graphic lining and specific 'FM' logo crest are hallmarks of Franky Max production. Check for the manufacturer's care tag in the side seam for a secondary brand hit.
Flaws to Note
Velvet is a 'lint magnet' and will require a deep roll or steaming; check for missing rhinestones within the crest; some localized crushing of the velvet nap near the shoulder.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for niche brands), Poshmark (strong for men's fashion/blazers), or Depop (appeals to the 'vintage/Y2K luxury' streetwear aesthetic).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Gothic Luxury,' 'Baroque,' 'Velvet Sport Coat,' and 'Rockstar.' Be sure to photograph the blazer while it is lint-rolled and steamed. Include a clear photo of the red interior as it is the most striking selling point.
