Expectation: They are what I was expecting, for the most part, in terms of overall appearance. The wash is a bit more blue-colored in person.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is decent. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and they fit well. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return these Cider jeans.
They fit well and the denim is very soft and comfortable (though a bit thin). However, I have two major issues with these. Firstly, the front crotch area has a lot of fabric and folds in an unflattering way (as you can see in the images above). Secondly, the back pockets are too small and far apart. I think this makes the jeans look cheap and unflattering. If you don’t mind the style of the pockets, these might work for you!
