It keeps the fabric from tearing and helps keep you from losing your kilt pin. A thick rubberband will do the trick too.
Strangely enough, that is what I was using at the time. The force on the pin was somewhat extreme!

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
