For a good number of years, one could easily find references to the milice in New France wearing red, blue or white toques (knitted caps) depending on whether they were from Quebec, Montreal or Trois Rivieres.
Well........my latest, hot off the press after years of research by professionals Rene Chartrand, and Kevin Gelinas, 2 volume set has just crossed that out. During the ancien regime, only red caps were sent from France or made in Quebec.
