Just strap 'em on and get out there. Even though they're expensive and in vogue, they're still just work boots, no need to pamper them like a dress shoe.
Most waterproofing agents will slightly darken the leather.
Filson and Levis have a collaboration selvedge jean, I think. 505's, which is a 501 with a zipper instead of button fly. I can't speak for the quality.
unionmadegoods.com has a bunch of different boutique brands of selvedge jeans.

RBH, gtdean48 - It does indeed look to be same ol' Stetson C crown and VERY similar to the Roadster. Just a color variant renamed for them, I suppose. I know they still have some - I tried on a Bronzine at the shop a couple months back.
