Cloth vintage hose

[ironcross44]

Anyone know where i could find 1.5” vacuum hose with cloth/fabric wrap? Need 15-20 feet. Thanks!

I would love to hear too! Good luck.

I have seen stuff like this (link below) you could use to wrap a modern hose with, but Ive been trying to find cloth vs plastic. Might have to take a trip to a fabric store and make my own? Kinda surprised there aren’t any niche suppliers out there, there are several sites that make cloth wrapped wire for power cords/etc. but no hose.

Jimmy Martin (rugsucker here in Vacuumland) might have what you need. Or possibly check with vac shops in your area to see if they have any "new/old stock" laying around. That would be about the only possibilities I could think of, as I don't think they make it any more. Good luck,

Did it used to be available?

Woven hoses are more difficult to find.

Definately.

The only cloth hoses that I might still have would be 5 or 6 feet.

Cloth hoses came before central vacuums, and then central vacs used wire-reinforced hoses.

Therefore long cloth hoses are uncommon/ very rare.
