Hi all,

I am traveling to France/Paris in July. I was hoping this great community may have some suggestions for Vintage shopping, I'm generally more focused on Work wear and Military.

Thanks so much

Cheers

Saw your post and immediately thought of the Paris flea markets. They invariably have booths selling clothing too. I once bought some leather goods there. Disclaimer: although my location allows me to go to Paris regularly, it has been years since I last visited a flea market.

Curious if you found anything - sorry for a bit of a random bump! I'm a big fan of Paris for hat shopping. I'd say 95% of mine are from there.

Hi, I actually didn't get a chance to do a lot of shopping while there. I did Visit Brut Archives. It is an appointment only showroom, primarily military and work wear. They had some really amazing rare pieces and some more practical, good condition and affordable pieces. They guys were really gracious and let me wander and I picked up a few items.

If that is your thing, I would definitely carve out a couple of hours.
