Men's Burr™ Series

Rugged Cotton-Canvas Layering, Built to Wear In, Not Out
The Burr™ Series is KÜHL's heritage cotton-canvas layering line for men, outerwear built around a tough, garment-dyed canvas weave that softens with every wear and earns its character on the body. Cut for movement, finished for daily use, engineered to take the kind of wear that ends most casual jackets in a season.
Choose from a variety of fabrics, styles, and features for the men's Burr™ pieces that are right for you:
Garment-Dyed Cotton Canvas. A 100% combed cotton canvas weave with a unique dye finish anchors the entire series. The hand softens with wash and wear, the color deepens, and the fabric earns its patina in real use: porch, paddock, jobsite, trailhead.
Vest for Core Warmth, Layering Freedom. Burr™ vests deliver the versatility to adapt to changing weather without overheating. Zippered hand pockets keep essentials secure, and the unlined cut wears easily over a flannel or a men's long sleeve shirt when the mercury swings through the day. The lined version adds a brushed interior at the collar and body for shoulder-season comfort.
Insulated Jacket for Cold Mornings. The insulated Burr™ jacket pairs the same combed-cotton canvas exterior with quilted insulation and berber-style accents at the collar and cuffs. An articulated design preserves freedom of movement across the shoulders and elbows, so the warmth doesn't come at the cost of mobility, important when chores or trail work keep you reaching and hauling.
A Different Build Than Our Softshells. The Burr™ Series sits at the workwear-meets-mountain-town end of the lineup, where pieces in our Renegade Series lean technical with stretch softshells and trail-tuned construction.
Look for signature touches across the series: articulated construction for freedom of movement, brushed interior linings on cold-weather pieces, and secure zippered pockets. Pair Burr™ outerwear over a flannel with a baselayer and your favorite men's pants, and the system carries you from autumn into deep winter.

The Burr™ Series is KÜHL's heritage cotton-canvas outerwear for men, rugged vests and insulated jackets built to soften, age, and outlast the season.

What is the Burr™ Series?

The Burr™ Series is KÜHL's men's cotton-canvas outerwear collection, built around a tough 100% combed cotton weave with a signature garment-dye finish. It's the heritage end of the lineup, pieces designed to soften with wear, deepen in color over time, and take rough handling without losing their shape. Where our technical series lean on synthetic softshells, the Burr™ Series leans on a properly built cotton-canvas hand and a workwear silhouette.

What pieces are in the Burr™ Series?

The Burr™ Series is a focused outerwear collection covering two product types: vests and insulated jackets. The vests come in unlined and lined cuts for cool-to-cold layering, and the insulated jacket pairs the same combed-cotton canvas exterior with quilted insulation and berber-style accents for the coldest months. It's a capsule, not a full head-to-toe series, and it's intended as the outer layer over your existing flannel and shirt wardrobe.

Who is the Burr™ Series designed for?

The Burr™ Series is designed for men who want rugged, cotton-first outerwear that wears in rather than wears out. The buyer here is someone splitting time between town and the outdoors: ranch chores, weekend builds, dog walks in shoulder-season weather, mountain-town errands, fishing the bank in fall. It's not a technical alpine kit. It's the layer you reach for when synthetic softshells feel like overkill and a hooded sweatshirt feels like not enough.

What fabrics and construction details define the Burr™ Series?

The defining fabric is a 100% combed cotton canvas with a unique garment-dye finish, chosen for hand, durability, and the way it takes on character with use. Construction details across the series include articulated shoulders and elbows on the insulated jacket for freedom of movement, a brushed interior on the lined vest for warmth, quilted insulation on the cold-weather jacket, and zippered pockets that keep essentials secure when you're moving. There are no proprietary softshells or stretch fabrics here. Burr™ is a cotton-canvas collection by design.

How does the Burr™ Series compare to KÜHL's other series?

Burr™ is the cotton-canvas, heritage-workwear end of KÜHL's outerwear lineup, while series like the Rydr Series lean technical with synthetic fabrics, articulated stretch, and trail-tuned construction. If you want a layer that softens, fades, and tells the story of where you've worn it, Burr™ is the call. If you want a layer built around 4-way stretch, DWR finishes, and a more athletic cut, you'll be happier in one of the softshell-anchored series.

What weather and conditions does the Burr™ Series handle best?

The Burr™ Series handles dry-to-damp shoulder-season and cold-weather conditions best: autumn, winter, and early spring, in the range where a windproof cotton-canvas layer pulls its weight. The unlined vest works on cool mornings and warm afternoons. The lined vest carries you through fall layering. The insulated jacket steps in once temperatures drop and the wind picks up. For sustained rain or technical alpine conditions, reach for a dedicated waterproof shell instead. Cotton canvas is built for character and durability, not for hours under a downpour.
