Sounds like a job for some sort of twisting on a torus slice unioned with the usual
cylinder and candy cane stripe texture (duh). Haven't done it myself. There's
Spiralizer
here:

Just not sure of it's use for this particular purpose (makes 3D models not textures).
I couldn't find one of the many twisting spiral includes among my several links here
but
maybe theres a way to apply such a thing if you can locate one or if someone knows of
the whereabouts and can lead you to something, plus it seems the more plausible
alternative too. 
Actually best of all would simply be a 'image_map' with 'map_type 5' applied to the
torus slice (wide red and white diagonal lines). Leave it to me to think of the best
solution last.
