Material & Build21/25
100% combed cotton ottoman weave at 305 gsm — a heavy, tightly woven canvas that builds a patina over time. YKK zippers and saddle stitching throughout. Five-panel articulated sleeve design for durability at stress points. Multiple long-term owners report 10-16+ years of regular use. Minor deduction for cotton's lack of water resistance and reports of color fading after washing.
Warranty & Support20/35
18-month limited warranty covers manufacturing defects only — normal wear and tear explicitly excluded. No refunds, only repair or replacement. Repair turnaround is roughly 10 business days. Customer pays outbound shipping. A functional warranty with a real repair program, but significantly shorter than competitors like Patagonia or Filson.

Five-panel articulated sleeve construction distributes stress across more seams, reducing the single-point failure common in two-panel sleeve designs.

Known Concerns3 issues reported
Cotton canvas fades noticeably after first wash, particularly in darker colors. Several reviewers report marks and discoloration that worsen even when following care instructions.
Sizing runs small — KUHL's own site notes 'Runs Slightly Small.' Multiple reviewers recommend sizing up, particularly for layering. Sleeves are disproportionately long on some body types.
No water resistance — 100% cotton canvas absorbs water readily. Not suitable as a rain layer or for wet conditions without a DWR treatment.
