I love my kuhl pants but if I'm pronouncing the name correctly it's silly

i had a friend with the last name Kuhl and she said it was pronounced (kʌl) like full or dull. of course it might not be the same but it’s better than nothing

Thanks for this. Way better than calling them my cool pants

It’s pronounced “cool”

It’s on their branding and decals, stickers, etc.

Are we talking about kühl?

It's German and the ü is kind of an elongated eww sound. The L is also very soft. It sounds more like Keww - uhh - l
