To me, the Iscaselle vinyl faux leather bar wrap was just the best: it looked great, went on easily, was very comfortable yet grippable, cleaned up nicely and easily, and was very tough and durable. And it wasn't expensive. I still have it on 2 bikes and it still looks practically new after many years. I always took it for granted, until a couple years ago when I suddenly realized it was no longer being sold. You can still find NOS colored rolls at inflated prices, although black is unavailable. I absolutely hate that vile foamy $#¡+ they put out now: it looks like crap even when it's new, it gets dirty fast and stays that way, and it falls apart if you try to unwrap and reuse it.
I would like to know, is there anything comparable to Iscaselle being made now? Thanks for your suggestions.

One tape that comes to mind is Fizik's Microtex line of tape. Very sturdy, perforated faux leather look and feel, cleans up very easily and doesn't break the bank.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but I like the Bike Ribbon Professional. Got it on 5 bikes right now in yellow, black, blue and white.

Scozim, that looks really similar. How do you like it?

I like it a lot - as mentioned it's on 5 of my riders. Not real expensive either. I normally buy at Loose Screws for around $9 but have seen it lower. Excel Sports has some for $7.95. Decent padding - not as much as cork but still ok. Cleans up well. The black and yellow are my favorite (the yellow is darker like a harvest gold).

Love iscaselle too. There's a guy in nl selling it nos, but over time the glue has turned to treacle and is spread all over the bag it's in, so you end up cleaning the tape for DAYS (really, nothing works) afterwards. Worth it though.

I've put Fizik Microtex on my brother's bike and it's held up to his riding (daily commuter and random recreation) and outdoor storage (under a porch) in Richmond since this past December very well. I saw it this weekend and it still looked like it was nearly new.
