Double Cup Cargo Shorts, spec by spec
The denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup currently holds exactly one product, and it is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. Built from 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a alocs streetwear hoodie leg shape rather than collapsing, the short carries a mid rise. 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. 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. Taken from the graphics into the pocket build, the brand’s own cup motif is what the name refers to. Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red make up 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.
The rest of the shorts rail
That single denim style sits inside a much wider shorts offering, and the wider offering is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. The main tier settles at about $150 and contains the Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts, 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 rounded out 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 land 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. These figures are every one what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and this label re-prices with drops.
What else is 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. In 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. 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. Alongside the denim runs 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. The blend gives it away, workwear and denim being different propositions here: one is a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill, the other is raw weight in cotton. Right across the range the construction signals stay constant, the signature yellow woven label appearing garment after garment in the brand’s own copy. Product copy adds that the pieces are made in Los Angeles, hand-dyed and printed there, and screen-printed there, a real cost input at these prices.
The lineup in one table
What the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it, is what the table below lists. Where a product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement, the cell says so instead of guessing at a number. Prices come straight 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. Only a full published measurement table is the denim short, which is why it carries the most detail. Treat it as a shortlist, then open the individual listing for the style you want before you pick a size.

Sizing: the waist matters, not the letter
Sold by waist measurement, the denim and workwear here run 28 to 44, which removes most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts publish 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. That single step is the whole instruction, so going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized. The per-product fit sentence is the only guidance you get across the rest of the shorts rail, which mostly does not publish measurements. Stated plainly, 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
The word jorts is what a large share of the traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives typing, and it 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, which is why it matters practically. 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. Shopping alocs clothing in person means 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.
