I bought it. I like it better as it looks closer to the old cords, they did not shine so much either.

Mike;
  I bought some repro cloth cord from Radio Daze a few years ago and I immediately noticed that it was thinner then the original ones I have, though it is a good match to some vintage lamp cords. This isn't to say that all cloth cords were thicker but the ones I have were, my guess is that they must have taken modern zip cord and wrapped thread around it, since the actual guage of the with is the same. The closest that I have seen to the original cords is some 16 gauge "designer" extension cords, but those are only 5 feet long , maybe Radio Daze has something similar to to original stuff by now?
