Double Cup Cargo Shorts: the full spec sheet
Only one product sits in the denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup at present, and that product is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. 14 oz denim does the work here, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, and the rise is mid. The double dye process the brand describes is applied over a garment dye to mimic sun-fading, which is why two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. Construction details are specific: double-layer double streetwear t shirt cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. A straight reference to the brand’s own cup motif is where the name comes from, carried over from the graphics into the pocket build. The size run goes by waist rather than by letter, and four colorways are listed, Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red. The asking 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
That single denim style sits inside a much wider shorts offering, and the wider offering is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. At about $150 the main tier includes the Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts, which run as a set of three variations on the same graphic idea. 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. That price tier is completed by the Awful Lot Of Chiefin Heavily Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts, and the sweat short is the obvious pairing for the matching fleece bottoms in the catalogue. What gives the category its $60 to $150 band is the tier below, where the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts land at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, which is what sets the lower figure. As a standing clearance mechanic the brand also runs a Mystery Shorts item at about $50 that lets the floor 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 is the reason you are here, the shorts are not the end of it, they are just the only denim short. The ALOCS Denim Jacket runs in Black, Blue and Tan at about $300 each, and the ALOCS Carpenter Pants run in the same three colors at the same price. Those carpenter pants are the closest thing the catalogue has to a full-length companion for the cargo short, 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. That blend is the signal that workwear and denim are different propositions here, one a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill, the other raw weight in cotton. Garment after garment in the brand’s own copy the signature yellow woven label turns up, and the construction signals stay constant across all of it. The pieces are made in Los Angeles, hand-dyed and printed there, and screen-printed there according to product copy, which is a real cost input at these prices.
The lineup, at a glance
The table below carries what the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it. The cell says so rather than guessing at a number wherever a product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement. Drawn from the brand’s own store as of September 2026, the prices will move with drops, restocks and sale periods. Per product is how the fit notes run, because this label publishes them per product and they are not uniform across the catalogue. A full published measurement table exists for the denim short alone, and that is why it carries the most detail. Before you pick a size, read it as a shortlist and then open the individual listing for the style you want.

Sizing: read the waist, not the letter
Priced and sized by waist measurement, the denim and workwear here run 28 to 44, which removes most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces. There is a full flat table on 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. A half inch per size is how the inseam moves, so the short stays roughly the same length on the leg as the waist grows rather than dropping toward the knee. It runs true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one, which is how explicit the fit guidance is on this style. Because that single step is the whole instruction, going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized. Elsewhere on the shorts rail measurements mostly are not published, which leaves the per-product fit sentence as 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 people are really searching for
A large share of the traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives typing the word jorts, and that word needs handling carefully. Nowhere does the brand use it, not on any product page and not 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. 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 are the checks that work. In person there are the Los Angeles stores at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St and the Houston store at 5410 Almeda Rd for anyone shopping alocs clothing, and online you should re-check the current price before buying, since everything quoted here is a September 2026 snapshot.
