    The glory of the Maple Leaf

    I couldn't resist spying on Lady Chrystel figuring out the double box pleating of a Maple Leaf Tartan to the sett .

    O the glory of it !

    Such a wonderful looking tartan, I'm sure it will be a kilt many of us will be envious of.

    Since this is asymetric, please give us a good look at how Lady Chrysal works out the pleat to sett.

    Merci
