Glue a piece of inner tube to the band; clamp onto an old frame tube; trim up: if you trim unclamped, the inner will be squashed past the band when you fit it.
Perforated Fizik Microtex is good for a classic look, especially teamed with a perforated saddle. Leather bar tape belongs with other such faux-retro nonsense: in the bin.
A chopped B17 or one of the racier Brooks would look ok, but I'd opt for something a little more modern such as a Rolls, Regal or Turbo.
