1. An outer cover body for electrical wires, the outer cover body for electrical wires being formed by bending a resin sheet and to be attached to an outer periphery of an electrical wire, the outer cover body for electrical wires comprising a plurality of wall parts extending along an extending direction of the electrical wire and forming an accommodating part for accommodating the electrical wire, wherein
at least one of the plurality of wall parts includes a wall surface overlapping part having an outer side wall surface having a first notch, and an inner side wall surface overlapping the outer side wall surface and having a second notch,
wherein a branch line through-hole being formed by overlapping the first notch and the second notch, wherein the outer side wall surface and the inner side wall surface form a first overlapping surface on a first side of the outer cover body and a second overlapping surface on a second side of the outer cover body opposite the first side,
wherein the resin sheet has a structure including a foam layer and a non-foam layer on a front surface of the foam layer, wherein the foam layer and the non-foam layer are integral to the resin sheet, and
wherein the outer cover body and the inner cover body are joined together by an adhesive or a welding provided on the first overlapping surface and the second overlapping surface.
