Here's an excellent way to seal cloth hoses. (Look at the third photo from the top.)

Your rite, maybe get a teal colored tape. These days black hoses matter though. Lmao

"ALL hoses matter".
Sorry, was too easy. HAD to do it.

As I've said.....

many times, the aftermarket hoses going into the early 2000's were fine. I have quite a few. Then to make maximum profit and keep costs down they were made in Asia.

That's when the chrome started flaking off and not fitting Sidekicks, etc, etc. There ARE issues with the current aftermarket hoses, don't anyone kid the kidder.

Best storage if you have the room, is to lay them flat out straight on a shelf. Lacking that you can use two large, coated bicycle hooks that are spread apart and put the hose middle on those two hooks. That makes a gentle curve for the hose....that's what your after, with the ends free.

I'm still waiting.....

for someone to cough up the $40 or so to buy the long length of clear, thin heat shrink and try it on an old hose. I couldn't imagine it being stiffer than that cobbled up tape wrap job.
