1. A combination of a garment and wiring for an audio source device comprising: a garment having a hood defined by a hood channel; andleft and right lanyard portions extending from an entry end inside the hood channel and terminating at an exit end outside the hood channel on the left and right sides of the hood for cinching the hood,audio connection wiring comprising a source access connector and left and right wires from the connector to left and right earphones respectively at the end of each one of the pair of wires;the wires being assembled into the garment so that the connector is available at a selected location exteriorly of the garment for connecting to an audio source device and the earphones are available for placing at a user's ears;the audio connection wiring having a first portion extending from the connector of which first portion pair of wires are joined, up to a separation point at which they separate into the separate left and right wires terminating in the respective left and right earphones; andthe first portion passing from outside the garment to the inside of the garment and extending interiorly of the garment in a transfer channel and then into the hood channel and the point of separation is inside the hood channel; andthe separated left and right wires extending inside the respective left and right lanyard portions to each side of the hood channel and extending beyond the exit end of the respective lanyard;whereby the earphones can be inserted into a user's ears and an audio device can be connected to the connector and the lanyards with the separate left and right wires inside them can be used to cinch the hood. 2. The combination of claim 1 further comprising a securing element at the separation point the securing element gripping the combined wires and the entry ends of the lanyards and the separated wires inside the lanyards so that all of them are immovable with respect to the others. 3. The combination of claim 2 wherein the transfer tube is attached to the garment by sewing it along its length at least in part commonly with other stitching for the construction of the garment. 4. The combination of claim 3 wherein the wires extend from the connector inside a pocket of the garment and therefrom to the garment interior. 5. A combined garment and earphones comprising: a garment having a hood adapted for being worn over a user's head, the hood including a hood channel for cinching;a combination lanyard portion and wiring assembly comprising; a lanyard portion comprising a hollow left lanyard element and a hollow right lanyard element each extending from an entry end inside the hood channel to an outside end outside the hood channel;a wiring assembly comprising left and right earphone wires entering the lanyard portion inside the hood channel and extending respectively inside the left lanyard element and the right lanyard element and exiting the outside end of the respective lanyard and extending a distance outside its respective lanyard element and terminating at left and right earphones. 6. The combined garment and earphones of claim 5 further comprising: the earphone wires extending exiting the hood channel through a common exit opening and extending within a transfer channel fitted interiorly of the garment and the wires exiting the transfer channel at a selected location and terminating in a connector for connection to a signal source. 7. The combined garment and earphones of claim 6 wherein the transfer channel ends proximate a pocket in the garment and the wires extend in the pocket for access for connection to an audio source device. 8. A method of combining audio source wiring with a garment comprising; providing a garment having a hood with a prospective hood channel portion;providing two lengths of hollow lanyards defining a left and right lanyard each having an entry end and an exit end;providing audio connection wiring comprising a connector for connecting to an audio source and left and right wire portions extending to termination ends;installing portions of the left and right wire through the left and right hollow lanyard respectively from the entry end and the termination ends of the wire portions extending beyond the exit end of the hollow lanyard;arranging the entry ends of the hollow lanyards to be proximate each other and securing them together;installing the hollow lanyards into the prospective hood channel portion so that they extend oppositely to the left and right of the prospective hood channel portion; andforming a hood channel with the hollow lanyards inside it and extending beyond the hood channel at the left and right side of the garment respectively whereby the termination ends of the wires also extend beyond the hood channel;fixing the hollow lanyards inside the hood channel to the garment so that they cannot move lengthwise together with respect to the hood channel. 9. The method of claim 8 further comprising; fixing the hollow lanyards against said lengthwise movement in the hood channel at a point proximate the center of the hood channel so that each lanyard can be used to cinch substantially half of the hood. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising; terminating an earphone at each termination end of the left and right wires whereby the earphones are available outside the hollow lanyards for application to a user's ears when wearing the garment and the lanyards with the wires extending inside them can be used to cinch the hood. 11. The method of claim 8 further comprising concurrently fixing the wire entering each hollow lanyard to the entry end of the lanyard against lateral movement with respect to the hollow lanyard. 12. The method of claim 8 wherein the fixing is provided by surrounding the entry ends with a securing device that can be applied tightly to the entry ends. 13. The method of claim 8 wherein the fixing is provided by attaching a securing element to the entry ends holding them together and sewing across the hood channel proximate left and right ends of the securing element defining a pocket that restrains the securing element against lengthwise movement. 14. The method of claim 12 further comprising concurrently fixing the wire entering the hollow lanyard at the entry end against lateral movement with respect to the hollow lanyard.
