Do un-scalloped kilts need reinforcing?

[huntgathergrow]

I've been looking around and haven't been able to find a definitive answer, but as the titles says: Do lower yardage, un-scalloped kilts need any reinforcing with a stabilizer?

I've found some really great threads from Mr Steve Ashton on the importance of reinforcing and stabilizing a scalloped kilt properly, but I was thinking along the lines of a 4 or 5 yard kilt that doesn't "need" to have the pleats scalloped.

The more I read, the more I'm tempted to fashion a belted plaid from some regimental wool for my farm kilt.
