Velo Orange made leather top tube covers like that for a while, but not any more. It could also be leather bar tape repurposed as a TT cover. Again, I think VO have stopped making their elk skin TT bar tape. Brick Lane Bikes make a leather TT cover too but it only seems to fit narrower tubing than the 31mm tubes on my Rivendell bikes.
