Defrocking Dad: Masculinity and Dress in Montreal, 1760-1867
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the fashion sense of three Montrealers, one of whom was John Redpath (1796-1869). The author describes the Scottish-born Redpath as the classic "Man in Black", a self-made Victorian-era industrialist who looked the part, from his black top hat to his black boots and white starched shirtfront, collar and cuffs. Redpath was a driving entrepreneur, evangelical Presbyterian philanthropist, and teetotaler, an example of the second generation of English-Quebec businessman who shunned the hard-drinking extravagance of the fur-traders of an earlier era.
