Well done! That tweed ("moss"?) looks super with that kilt.
About flashes length, yours look perfectly fine to me.
As an aside, I've always as a matter of course turned the hose over at the garter, meaning that much of the length of the flash is hidden under the cuff. I suppose this practice dates back to when hose actually needed to be held up by the garter (prior to the hose themselves being elastic).
But now that hose don't really need garter support a strange (to me) custom has arisen among a lot of Pipe Band people: they wear the garter at the very bottom of the cuff so that the whole length of the garter is visible, as if it's their duty to expose the entire flash.
In any case flash length is like women's hem-lines, going up and down as fashion dictates.
Here's when flashes got their longest:
