How do you run your hoses into your costume?

I drilled holes through the top of my hoses and put a round keyring through each one (similar to pic #1 in batninja's diagram). The holes in the jumpsuit are just big enough for the hoses to individually slide through, and the keyrings are just big enough that they won't come through. Works like a charm, and each hose can move independently when I move my arm.
 
I have metal wire hoses for my Jaster, very rich looking. I just simply used Velcro around the hoses & put velcro inside the sleeve where it need to be, & they stay in there great!
 
I have an elastic strap that binds all three hoses, then goes around my bicep. Problem is, once I get the jumpsuit on, I can't get the hoses far enough up inside the "short sleeve" to straighten my arm.

I have some of those black plastic clips someone mentioned. And some extra black nylon and elastic straps for them. I think I'll try that. Thanks.
 
Anyone try using these microphone connectors, to connect hoses? Looks like this was done on the pre-pro suit.

you mean "stereo plugs"? anyway, i sewed my hoses into my "fest" (fett vest) that seems to work, i however, am still using my TK gauntlets untill i can aquire some real ones...... by the way where, any one got some for sale?
 
I use the plastic buckle method. To attach the hoses to the buckle, I boiled the end of the hose to expand it, inserted a plastic bungee cord end & cooled it under cold water to lock it into place. The hooks could then be hooked into the buckle with a little effort. There is no chance of these accidentally coming loose & it gives the gauntlet a nice finished look.

As you can see Omega, the hose does not run up the sleeve of the Prepro 2. The hoses on the Prepro 2 are connected behind the backplate with that particular connector to possibly accomodate electronics to or for the jet pack.
 
Ok it seems the means of connection varies, but works. MY problem is I don't know how to connect the hose to the gauntlet. I have a Jango and have seen the pictures numerous times, but I can never seem to get a answer as to what goes into putting the hoses in the gauntlets. Any help would be much appricated.
 
Use 1/4" copper or aluminum tubing, the same thing the bottom tube is made from on the right gauntlet. The plumbing hardware will slip right over it & can be epoxied or even soldered into place. I left the tubing about an inch longer for the hose to slip onto. If a hose accidentally gets snagged, it will come off at the gauntlet rather than ripping out from my jumpsuit. This setup has worked well for me.
