Paris Thrift Stores -For Men

I'm backpacking and traveling light, but I'd like to pick up some respectable clothes when I arrive. I'm really looking forward to hitting some of the Paris thrift stores, but the only specifics I can find refer to Women's clothing. What about Men's clothing?

If it helps, my tastes run toward the classic side, certainly not trendy, but I love nostalgic influences, 30's, 40's, 50's - I've always wanted one of those sharp mod suits with a skinny tie :^) I even like western/americana shirts, but those would probably stick out like a flame-engulfed thumb in Europe.

Any input and advice is welcomed.

Thanks!

We shopped/toured all the arrondissements . Surprisingly there wasn't much for men but a lot for women overall. The best place for men was the Italian district near the opera house(Arr.1 or 4 I believe). The best spot for men& women was up by the Moulin Rouge district. My wife found a nice pair of jeans that would have cost $700 in a Nordstroms for $20 - I couldn't believe it.
