Maybe they only have one to begin with!

But using kilt as a plural sounds wrong in many contexts.

If you say "the Tartan Army were wearing their kilt" or "my wardrobe has 24 kilt" it just doesn't convey the plural at all.
That's not the point. Kilt is both singular and plural, just like scissors, sheep, fish and many other English words. Just because it doesn't sound right to you or anyone else, does not make it wrong. Both of the example you gave sound entirely correct to me.

My pond has 24 fish.
My field has 24 sheep.
My wardrobe has 24 kilt.

All correct and no ambiguity.
