Hudson Bay fashion
See quotes.
- 1880  Thankful for such an unexpected conveyance, we were ready to adopt what is called the Hudson's Bay fashion,--that is, to use anything you can get which will serve your turn, and let the next man forage for himself.
- 1935  "Hudson Bay style for them," he said, "Kick, bite and scratch". . . ."Hudson Bay style" was a reference not to the Company but to the old-time free-for-all fighting among boatmen and voyageurs where there were no rounds, rings or Marquis of Queensbury rules.
