Why this is important to you? If a "Average" Male has a waist of 36" inches and the Kilt has a 4" inch Band. 4 * 36 * 44 = 6,336 Pounds per square inch! (It goes up for bigger guys...) SO, if you are wearing a kilt that does not have interfacing AND you are blowing out the seams. This is why.
Because of this Interfacing is brought all the way around the kilt. In the photo below you can see the belt hole being sewn completely around with the interfacing
