Stretched leather is the classic look. Save the Mexican blanket for a RAT. That's where it looks best imho, with some flat black and pinstriping.

That bare seat pan....winner. What is your 'post ride summary, Scribbs? Fit, feel, first impressions...?
Tell me about the 'chain ring'. Not mentioned on your list, and TBH, the ONLY part that doesn't fit just right in my eyes.
Maybe it's the fact that it sticks out in that open space in the frame. Not sure exactly, just that my eye is drawn to it.
Thanks I knew I forgot something, the chain ring is the original Elgin solid sprocket.
It does draw your eye, I think that was the point especially on the twin 20 model where there was no chain guard originally.
Looks great, understated and classy.
If you could pull it off, some simple pin striping on the bare metal would really look nice. Not the wild hot rod stripes but something more traditional from the era like darts on the fork legs and along the edges of the fenders for example. Maybe in cream and blue to match the wheels. Just thinking out loud.
