If you're not having much luck finding ready made flashes, You might try looking in fabric stores for something compatible. They're not that difficult to make... even for a klutz like me.

I've read your "flashes" construction instructions. Very informative. I just wonder how hard it would be to find the matching colour.
I'm with Ron on finding a complimentary colour... adds contrast.
Although, saffron coloured on top of something dark would likely look neat (or harsh...I don't know personally, these are just thoughts). I am hoping to buy red flashes to go with a handful of kilts... complimentary/contrasting for my Gordon modern kilts, it'll match my Ulster, and my Muir, and my Gordon red, and not clash with my weathered Lamont (lots of neutrals in there). That's just how my thought process goes.
You could always get strips of cloth, and tie it in a bow knot, and then fold your hose over it. Not entirely an inaccurate way to do things.
Andrew, I think you will find the Red flashes to be just the thing. I have only seen a Saffron Kilt once but he had Red flashes and I thought it looked good.

I actually bought a pair of the SWK red flashes at the same time I bought my saffron kilt. I actually ordered them with the intention of matching with my Wallace kilt. I'll still use them for that. BUT, I'd been thinking they'd look good with the saffron too.
