Pant Stripe Fabric

[IPv6Freely 2092]

What would be the correct fabric to order if I was going to sew some stripes onto a shell? I assume nylon of some sort. 

And are the edges just surged or is there a better way to keep them from fraying?

Edges aren't serged, but folded over, then straight stitch sewn.  On a commercial machine, they make folders that take in the fabric for you.  So, say you want a 3" stripe and have a 1/4" folder, you cut the stripe to 3 1/2", feed through the machine and it will fold and sew 1/4".  Flip it over and do the same, then, you'll straight stitch it onto your pant shell.

Largest stripe on bottom, smaller on top if doing multiple colors.

Fantastic, thank you sir! Exactly what I needed.
