Double Cup Cargo Shorts, spec by spec
A single product fills the denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup at the moment, and it is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. The cloth is 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, and the rise is 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. Specifics on construction run to double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. The name is a straight reference to the brand’s own cup motif, awful lot of cough syrup tee carried over from the graphics into the pocket build. The listing carries four colorways, 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 rest of the shorts rail, style by style
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. At about $150 the main tier takes in 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 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. Lower down, 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. Beyond 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. 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 the denim and workwear side holds
The shorts are not where the denim ends if that is why you are here, though they are 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. 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. 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. 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. Made in Los Angeles, hand-dyed and printed there, and screen-printed there is what the product copy also states, and that is a real cost input at these prices.
Every style at a glance
The table below holds what the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it. Where no fabric weight or flat measurement appears on a product page, the cell says as much instead of guessing at a number. These are the brand’s own store figures as of September 2026, and they will move with drops, restocks and sale periods. Fit notes stay per product, since this label publishes them per product and they are not uniform across the catalogue. The only entry that has a full published measurement table is the denim short, 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.

On sizing, read the waist rather than 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. A full flat table gets published for 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. The inseam grows half an inch per size, which 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 one 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. To put it 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 actually 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. The brand does not use it, anywhere, on any product page or 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 gets the same treatment, 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. It matters practically, since plenty 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. 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.
