Irene, coach tape, vet wrap, or any other man made stretchable wrap that I have seen have done the job for others. I personally don't use them as I have seen them do damage to flaky bark trees, stain deciduous bark and leave binding marks if left to long. A cosmetic repair of this type can take years to repair.
The use off raffia is my personal preference when it comes to padding or reinforcement of cambium along with small rubber sheeting squares for high pressure areas. This rubber sheeting can be bought in 12 by 6 sheets at local hardware stores for about a buck (+/-). I am personally comfortable with raffia and think it blends well with a tree. I personally don't see a need to have more than that since raffia does the job.
As far as Jute goes can't say I have ever used it nor seen it used. However, I would reason since that its a natural fiber that it might be similar to raffia and have some of the same characteristics.
I should mention that Flex has an article dedicated to this subject in greater detail here
