The spec sheet on the Double Cup Cargo Shorts
The Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the whole denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup right now, which currently holds exactly one product. What you get is 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, and the rise sits mid. Because the color comes from a garment dye, applied through what the brand calls a double dye process to mimic sun-fading, two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. The build runs to double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. The name nods straight to the brand’s own cup motif, carried over awfullottacoughsyrup.com/product-category/t-shirts 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. The 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 remainder of the shorts rail
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. 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. Also there 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 off by the Awful Lot Of Chiefin Heavily Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts, and the sweat short pairs obviously with 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. The brand also carries 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.
What else comes from denim and workwear
If you are here for denim, the shorts are not the end of it, though they are the only denim short. The ALOCS Denim Jacket comes in Black, Blue and Tan at about $300 each, with the ALOCS Carpenter Pants in the same three colors at the same price. The same waist-based sizing logic runs through those carpenter pants, which are the closest thing the catalogue has to a full-length companion for the cargo short. A workwear line built on Dickies bodies runs 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. Workwear and denim are different propositions here, and that blend is the giveaway: 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. Product copy goes on to say 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 at a glance
The table below lists what the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it. Where the product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement means the cell says so rather than 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. Because this label publishes fit notes per product, that is how they appear here, and they are not uniform across the catalogue. The denim short carries the most detail because it is the only entry with a full published measurement table. Open the individual listing for the style you want before you pick a size, and read the table as a shortlist.

On sizing, read the waist rather than the letter
Denim and workwear at this label are sold by waist measurement, running 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. Because the inseam moves half an inch per size, the short stays 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. 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. No global size chart and no washing instructions get published anywhere on the store, worth stating plainly, so do not assume a care routine from the garment-dye alone.
What searchers are actually after
That word needs handling carefully, because a large share of the traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives typing jorts. On no product page and in no product name does the brand use it, anywhere. What searchers have in mind is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, 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. None of the spellings people type are the brand’s own, and the brand name itself runs the same pattern, coming out as awful lot of cough syrup, awful lotta cough syrup and a dozen other near-misses. It matters practically, since plenty of stores selling cough syrup clothing under those spellings have no connection to the label at all. 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.
