I think the old cotton braided flex is fastly being replaced with the new heat resistant types of flex around.At one time all kettles and irons had these type of flexes but nowadays they appear to be more and more less seen.

I personnally have never had to buy any so I could not point you in one or the other direction.But I would not pay

Things like iron flex are always a problem, if you buy a drum you will have it forever. A small local independent wholesaler may run 2mtrs off for you otherwise its B&Q , Wickes, Homebase etc I wouldn't use heat resisting flex if I were you , its the flexibility that counts not heat resistance, HR flex would not do TBH Afterthought, you could try an appliance repair shop, they'd sell a couple of metres.

Quite so Deke!

I think its is also something to do with not marking or ruffling up your nice clean clothes when you are ironing...

you probably get the same problems as me when you are ironing your blouses & skirts? :x :^O:^O
