The Double Cup Cargo Shorts, spec sheet first
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. A mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, the 14 oz denim here comes with a mid rise. Two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical, because the color comes from a garment dye applied through what the brand calls a double dye process to mimic sun-fading. Construction is specified in detail: double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. Straight off the brand’s own cup motif comes the name, carried over from heavyweight tee the graphics into the pocket build. Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red are the four colorways listed, and the size run goes by waist rather than by letter. As of September 2026, the brand’s own store has it at about $150, listed against a higher compare-at figure of $300, and that kind of markdown does not stay live forever.
Everything else on the shorts rail
A much wider shorts offering holds that single denim style, and it is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. The main tier sits at about $150 and includes the Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts, which run as a set of three variations on the same graphic idea. From the same capsule, published to the store in July 2026, come the ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon Shorts, alongside the Awful Lot Of Stincs Shorts and the Awful Lot Of Stincs Buddha Shorts. 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. Below that the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts arrive at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, and that is what gives the category its $60 to $150 band. On top of that, the brand runs a Mystery Shorts item at about $50 as a standing clearance mechanic, which means the floor can dip below that band when stock needs clearing. These figures are every one what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and this label re-prices with drops.
Beyond the shorts: denim and workwear
The shorts are not where the denim ends if that is why you are here, though they are the only denim short. Across Black, Blue and Tan the ALOCS Denim Jacket runs at about $300 each, and the ALOCS Carpenter Pants run in the same three colors at the same price. Those carpenter pants come nearest to a full-length companion for the cargo short in this catalogue, and they carry the same waist-based sizing logic. A workwear line built on Dickies bodies sits next to the denim, taking in 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. One is a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill and the other is raw weight in cotton, so that blend is the giveaway that workwear and denim are different propositions here. Across all of it the construction signals stay constant, with the signature yellow woven label appearing garment after garment in the brand’s own copy. 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
Nothing but what the brand publishes goes into the table below, 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. Prices are lifted from the brand’s own store as of September 2026 and will move with drops, restocks and sale periods. Fit notes are 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. Open the individual listing for the style you want before you pick a size, and read the table as a shortlist.

Read the waist rather than the letter when sizing
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. On the Double Cup Cargo Shorts the full flat table reads like this: 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. Going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized, because that single step is the whole instruction. 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 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. Nowhere does the brand use it, not on any product page and not in any product name. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts are what searchers mean by it, being 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. That same pattern carries into the brand name itself, 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. In practical terms that matters, because a lot of stores selling cough syrup clothing under those spellings have no connection to the label at all. Garment checks are the ones that work: 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.
