Buckle gives you 60 days to return unworn items with tags attached, but altered denim — like jeans that have been hemmed — is firmly non-returnable once customized.
Hemmed or Altered Denim Can't Be Returned
Buckle is known for in-store jean hemming, but that convenience comes with a tradeoff: once a pair of jeans has been altered or hemmed, it's explicitly excluded from returns. That's on top of the general rule that all merchandise must keep its original tags to qualify for a return.
