The Buckle Store Review

The clothing style of today for kids and teens seems to border the skater/surfer style. With the huge success of the store Tilly's it was only a matter of time for other new stores to follow suit. Buckle is a store comparable to Tilly's however, they offer more originality.
The Buckle was founded in 1948 in Nebraska by Dave Hirschfeld and operated under the name Mills Clothing. At this time it was just a clothing store for men. In 1965 Dave's son took over the business, opened several stores and changed the name to The Brass Buckle. They didn't include women's clothing into the mix until 1977. In 1991 they changed the name to The Buckle. Average sales in 2007 were 1.67 million per store. As of today Buckle has 370 stores in 39 states and they are under the names Buckle and The Buckle.
Buckle carries all of the hot brands that men, women and teens look for. Hurley, Roxy, Fossil, DC Shoes and Volcom are only a few of the vast variety of brands that they carry. The official web site for Buckle is http://www.buckle.com/ . Items you will find at Buckle are casual apparel, denims, accessories and footwear. Like I said, Buckle is comparable to Tilly's however Buckle's prices can be a little higher. One thing to note, there are a lot of items that Buckle carries that Tilly's does not. However, Buckle carries more brands than Tilly's does therefore giving you more options. The clothing you see at Buckle you don't see everywhere else. Unless you have a lot of money to spend I wouldn't recommend buying jeans at Buckle, they are over $100.00. Opt for tops that are in the $28-$80 range or t-shirts that are $18 to $80.00. Amongst the brands I mentioned before Buckle carries Ed Hardy belts and t-shirts. Other high fashion designer brands they have are Betsey Johnson, Lucky Brand, Diesel and Guess. If your shopping for back to school and simply can't afford designer labels not to worry. They carry fashion items from Fox, O'Neill and Volcom that other skater stores like Tilly's don't carry.
Women, if your sick of going to the mall or high end retail stores like Nordstroms to find great shoes Buckle carries some Steve Madden. Other brands of shoes they have in sandals, casual shoes, athletic shoes and heels and wedges. They have swimsuits, board shorts and sunglasses for the summer. Accessories include necklaces, belts, bags and wallets.
One thing that most retail stores are missing these days is customer service in particular. Buckle's motto is to provide personal attention to every guest. We aren't talking about annoying sales people following you around the store asking you if you need help finding anything. They are supposed to offer you services that you actually may want or need. Such services are layaways, enrolling you in the frequent shopper program and get this free alteration. That’s why I only shop at the buckle.
