I'm looking into using leather bar tape.
looks and durability have put me in this direction

which tapes could you guys recommend?
I ride bare handed (except in winter) so grip and some comfort/padding are welcome.

btw: does anyone have an idea how much busyman leather bar tapes cost?

thanks!
But I could be wrong

Handlebra. Great stuff. I've been using it for years, and believe me when I say it gets better with time. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Handlebra leather bar tape; excellent quality and many custom options. I use Fizik bar gel for additional padding under the leather tape.

Good point. I actually have the drops double-wrapped (with old leather), while keeping it thin on the tops.
