Double Cup Cargo Shorts: the 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. The fabric is 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a leg that awful lot of cough syrup shape rather than collapsing, and the rise is mid. A garment dye sets the color, applied through what the brand calls a double dye process to mimic sun-fading, which means two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. Double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch: the construction details are specific. The name nods straight to the brand’s own cup motif, carried over from the graphics into the pocket build. Four colorways are listed, Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red, and the size run goes by waist rather than by letter. At the brand’s own store the price sits at about $150 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
Denim is the headline, but it is a single style inside a much wider shorts offering, and that is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. 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. Sitting 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. Closing out that price tier are the Awful Lot Of Chiefin Heavily Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts, the sweat short being the obvious pairing for the matching fleece bottoms in the catalogue. Below that, the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts land at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, which 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. All of these figures came from what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and this label re-prices with drops.
The other pieces cut from 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. As a full-length companion for the cargo short, those carpenter pants are the closest the catalogue gets, 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 gives the game away, workwear and denim being different propositions here: one is a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill, the other is 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 product copy also says 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.
Every style at a glance
What the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it, is what the table below lists. 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. They are not uniform across the catalogue, so fit notes here are per product, exactly as this label publishes them. The only entry that has a full published measurement table is the denim short, which is why it carries the most detail. Read 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
At this label, denim and workwear are sold by waist measurement, running 28 to 44, which removes most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts carry a full flat table: 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. Half an inch of inseam per size keeps the short roughly the same length on the leg as the waist grows, rather than dropping toward the knee. The fit guidance here is explicit: 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. Measurements mostly do not get published across the rest of the shorts rail, so 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 people actually type into search
Traffic looking for denim shorts from this label largely arrives typing the word jorts, and that word needs handling carefully. The brand uses it nowhere, not on any product page and not in any product name. The only denim short in the catalogue is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, which is what searchers mean by it, so the useful translation is simply that the jorts everybody is asking about are the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. The brand name itself runs the same way, 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 can use the Los Angeles stores at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St or the Houston store at 5410 Almeda Rd, and anyone shopping online should re-check the current price before buying, since everything quoted here is a September 2026 snapshot.
