I was just in paris about a month ago. Colette has some cool shit like limited vans, nikes, apc, and a bunch of cool tees. A bit pricey though. MJ vans cost 120 euro there and in canada they only cost me 120 CND. But if you can afford it, go for it.

I presume you mean flea markets? St. Ouen at Clignancourt is obviously the most famous ans supposedly the biggest flea market in the world. Personally, I would avoid it at all cost. The one at Place d'Aligre is probably a lot more interesting, but make sure you go as early as possible! It's closed on mondays, I think. Porte de Vanves is also worth mentioning. Serpette (rue de Rosiers) is probably the most 'superfuture' of them all with fashionable/art-deco stuff, but don't expect bargains.

Good hunting!

Sorry, can't really help you out with that. What kind of soccer jerseys are you looking for exactly though? Maybe http://www.copaclassic.com is what you're after?

Edit: Oops.. hats, not jerseys.
