Preordered these in November and finally got them yesterday. Glad it worked out for me; the last pair I tried were way too slim and it'd suck to wait months for these and not have them fit. They seem well constructed and are reasonably priced. Think I'll be sticking with Brave Star for a bit; their Japanese denim (the pair I returned) had a nice texture to them and I'm thinking about getting a pair of those to rotate with these.
Gonna try something different with these and wear them for a while before soaking. I'll just have to be a little generous when hemming them, although I've heard the inseam doesn't shrink as much as the waist.
