I know we're talking about cotton here, but on my more modern builds (all my vintage builds get cotton) I switched to Fizik Microtex. It's amazing stuff. It has the feel (and look) of perforated leather without the slimy slippery feeling of real leather when it gets wet. It's not spongy like cork tape. And it cleans with a sponge and some dilute soap. It seems to last forever. I like it so much I'm tempted to use it on my vintage builds.
