6 Feet: Black & TanHoundstooth 2-Wire Parallel (Flat) Cloth Covered Cord, Vintage Style Nylon Cloth Lamp Cord

*****This listing is for a 6' piece, but all wire is available in any length you need. Multiples orders will be sent as one length (ie: order two for a 12' piece etc. There's a separate listing for a 20 foot length with a discount, or convo me for a custom length. See my shop "Snake Head Vintage" for many many more options and items!*****

The perfect addition to any lamp or small appliance such as fans and radios, this beautiful fabric covered electrical wire is a great way to replicate that vintage industrial age charm.

This is BRAND NEW reproduction antique style 2-wire, 18 gauge (known as 18/2) flat parallel wire.Each wire is a stranded copper insulated wire (much like standard wiring of today), the wires are joined together similar to modern day 2-prong extension cords, then it's covered in a braided nylon fabric. The fabric is smooth and shiny, similar to old industrial age silk covered wiring. A simple rewiring can really breathe new life into an old fixture, if you're unsure of how to do it there are many step by step instructions and videos that can be found online, it's easier than you think! Or use it to make you own custom lamps, pendants, desktop lights... you get the idea!

General pricing is $1.55 per foot, with a $3 discount for every 25 feet ordered, bulk requests welcomed.

Plug is NOT included in this price, but available separately in my shop "Plugs" section.

Specs:
Max: 300 Volts, 105 Degrees Celsius

Absolutely amazing cloth covered cord! Looks like the stuff that was on my grandmas vintage appliances. I’m using this cord to replace crumbling cords on a vintage Necchi BU sewing machine. The original cord is black cloth covered wire, but I thought this houndstooth, in Black and Tan, would be a striking contrast to the black machine. It totally is! The white and black would have been too much. If you’re looking for cloth covered cord stop here, you found it! I was a bit confused when I striped the wire. One side looks like aluminum and the other copper. The grey side is the “neutral” if you are using a polarized plug (I’m not so doesn’t matter), it’s tin plated copper. After some research I found that this is higher quality wire, so another plus! Quick ship. Will order again if needed...what else needs new cords? ;)
