The I fell down some stairs after a bit of drinking and the top button popped right off. If anyone wants some 0701s cheap, and doesnt mind replacing a button hit me up.

By the way... the 0201 looks like a straight jean, but it is a tapered fit (from knee down). Look a page or two back, shrinkage has been discussed numerous times here.

Thanks, I read it is around 1" so that's not a big deal.
Thank you, then I will go TTS as mentoined above.

My final question, how about hot soaking? Just hot water in a bath tube without anything else? Besides the jeans ofcourse.

Onto the soaking. Fill a bucket or tub with lukewarm or hot water (depending on how much shrinkage you want). Hot as in, hottest water from tap at maximum. Anything hotter will surely do damage to the leather patch.
Stick the jeans into the bucket/tub. Leave them for about half an hour till one hour and agitate them lightly. This will make sure the cottonfibers will fully absorb the water and provides "even" shrinkage along the process. Take them out and hang them to dry.
You could opt for wearing them when damp (when they are almost dry). This way you can stretch the denim a bit and also set some creases. This is optional though and I mostly don't do it because it can cause stretch at unwanted areas. Kneebags for instance.
