The Double Cup Cargo Shorts, spec sheet first
Right now the denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup comes to exactly one product, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. 14 oz denim is what it is cut from, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, and the rise is mid. The color comes from a garment dye, applied through what the brand calls a double dye process to mimic sun-fading, so two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. The construction details are specific: double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. The name refers straight to the brand’s own cup motif, carried over from the graphics awful lot of cough syrup tee into the pocket build. The store lists four colorways, Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red, and the size run goes by waist rather than by letter. Price sits at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, listed against a higher compare-at figure of $300, and that kind of markdown does not stay live forever.
The shorts rail beyond the denim
Most alocs shorts searches actually end up in the much wider shorts offering around that single denim style, headline though denim is. Three variations on the same graphic idea, the Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts, sit in the main tier at about $150. Alongside them are the Awful Lot Of Stincs Shorts and the Awful Lot Of Stincs Buddha Shorts, plus the ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon Shorts from the same capsule, which was published to the store in July 2026. The Awful Lot Of Chiefin Heavily Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts finish that price tier, with the sweat short the obvious pairing for the matching fleece bottoms in the catalogue. Further down the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts come in at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, which is what gives the category its $60 to $150 band. The brand also runs a Mystery Shorts item at about $50 as a standing clearance mechanic, so the floor can dip below that band when stock needs clearing. Every one of these figures was what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and this label re-prices with drops.
Beyond the shorts: denim and workwear
If denim brought you here, the shorts are not the end of it, they are just the only denim short. The ALOCS Denim Jacket is offered in Black, Blue and Tan at about $300 each, with the ALOCS Carpenter Pants in the same three colors at the same price. Those carpenter pants come closest to a full-length companion for the cargo short in this catalogue, and they carry the same waist-based sizing logic. Sitting next to the denim is a workwear line built on Dickies bodies, including the Cough Syrup Loose Fit Dickies Pants at about $250 and the Glocc Dickies Pants at about $300, both published as a 65% cotton and 35% polyester blend. Workwear here is a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill while the denim is raw weight in cotton, and that blend is the giveaway that the two are different propositions. Right across the range the construction signals stay constant, the signature yellow woven label appearing garment after garment in the brand’s own copy. The product copy also states the pieces are made in Los Angeles, hand-dyed and printed there, and screen-printed there, which is a real cost input at these prices.
The lineup at a glance
Nothing beyond what the brand publishes goes into the table below. Where no fabric weight or flat measurement appears on a product page, the cell says as much instead of guessing at a number. Prices are the brand’s own store figures as of September 2026 and will move with drops, restocks and sale periods. The fit notes run per product, because this label publishes them per product and they are not uniform across the catalogue. The denim short is the only entry with a full published measurement table, which is why it carries the most detail. Use it as a shortlist, then open the individual listing for the style you want before you pick a size.

Read the waist rather than the letter when sizing
Most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces disappears here, because denim and workwear at this label are sold by waist measurement, running 28 to 44, which is how the size run reads. A full flat table gets published for the Double Cup Cargo Shorts: small is a 29.5 inch waist with a 7.75 inch inseam, medium 31.5 and 8, large 33.5 and 8.5, extra large 35.5 and 9, and 2XL 37.5 and 9.5. The inseam moves half an inch per size, so the short stays roughly the same length on the leg as the waist grows rather than dropping toward the knee. Explicit fit guidance comes with this style: it runs true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. One step up is the whole instruction, which means going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized. The rest of the shorts rail, mostly, does not publish measurements, which means the per-product fit sentence is the only guidance you get. It is also worth stating plainly that the brand publishes no global size chart and no washing instructions anywhere on its store, so do not assume a care routine from the garment-dye alone.
What buyers are actually searching for
That word needs handling carefully, because a large share of the traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives typing jorts. The brand does not use it, anywhere, on any product page or in any product name. What searchers mean by it is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, which is the only denim short in the catalogue, so the useful translation is simply that the jorts everybody is asking about are the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. The same pattern runs through the brand name itself, which gets typed as awful lot of cough syrup, awful lotta cough syrup and a dozen other near-misses, none of which are the brand’s own spelling. A lot of stores selling cough syrup clothing under those spellings have no connection to the label at all, and that is the practical reason it matters. What works is checking the garment: the yellow woven label, the published 14 oz denim spec, the real price levels, and whether the product name appears in the brand’s own catalogue. Anyone shopping alocs clothing in person has the Los Angeles stores at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St or the Houston store at 5410 Almeda Rd, while anyone shopping online should re-check the current price before buying, since everything quoted here is a September 2026 snapshot.
