"Vallejo color(s) to paint Blue Jeans?" Topic

I've got some modern civilians to paint and wanted to know a quick and easy denim/blue jeans color. I do not have a dealer around me that sells Vallejo so I'll have to order sight unseen. That's OK, everyone on TMP is of one mind and completely agrees on every topic so I'll trust your input.
Seriously, thanks for any help you can offer.

Stonewashed or freshly dyed…? Seriously, almost any shade of blue could be right, depending on the style and state of wear. Linking to a picture that's about what you're looking for will probably get a more useful response….

What Dom said. Acid-washed? Whiskers? Vintage '60s thrift store Levis?

Field Blue 964 or Oxford blue 807 both work pretty good. I prefer Oxford blue usually.

I mix in white to whatever blue I'm using. If you look close, denim is a mix of white and blue threads:

Thanks gang. I'm just looking for the run of the mill Levis or Lee type blue jeans. Nothing special, I don't paint well enough for someone to be able to figure out one type or another.

Evil Bob: I'll try the Oxford Blue on your recommendation. If it turns out bad I can just blame you. Just kidding…Thanks!

I paint jeans deep blue and dry brush with pure white. You can vary the amount of dry brush for a more/less faded effect.

We usually do a base coat of the blue then a 50:50 mix of the blue with white for a drybrush to finish it off.

White with blue wash works for me.

When highlighting add some khaki to the blue for that dirty/worn look. I remember that worked really well when I painted up some 28mm Mongrel PLO ages ago.

Thanks again to all for the paint selections and the application tips.

When I painted up a zombie with blue jeans I used P3 colors. I've since come to like Vallejo's better but I used Cygnar Blue Highlight with a dry brush of Frostbite over the "worn areas" I.E. Butt, knees.

If you'd like I'm more then happy to take a picture for you.
