On my special I also used Tesa cloth loom tape. It works very well and looks period enough for me for a special.
Where the tape ends I used rubber Hellermann sleeves to finish off. Thanks to Ian W for suggesting that to me. I'd used them in the past when I was at school as I used to do holiday jobs as an electronics technician but never thought to use them on the car years later.
If you want the loom to look factory then having it professionally wrapped is the best way.
I wouldn't use PVC electrical tape. That looks wrong, will come undone over time and leaves sticky residue everywhere. If you use modern heat shrink anywhere you can often remove the white lettering printed on it by rubbing it with isopropyl alcohol to make it look less jarringly modern.
