Double Cup Cargo Shorts, spec sheet and all
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. Built from 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a 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. Straight off the brand’s own cup motif comes the name, carried over from the https://awfullottacoughsyrup.com/product-category/hoodie/ 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. The asking 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 rest of the shorts rail, style by style
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 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 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. Further down the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts come in at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, which is what gives the category its $60 to $150 band. As a standing clearance mechanic the brand also runs a Mystery Shorts item at about $50 that lets the floor dip below that band when stock needs clearing. These figures are all 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
The shorts are not where the denim ends if that is why you are here, though they are the only denim short. Black, Blue and Tan cover the ALOCS Denim Jacket at about $300 each, and the ALOCS Carpenter Pants run 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. The denim sits beside a workwear line built on Dickies bodies for company, 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 states 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.
The lineup at a glance
The table below lists what the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it. Where a product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement, the cell says so rather than 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 are per product, because this label publishes them per product 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.

Sizing: the waist matters, not the letter
Most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces disappears here, because denim and workwear at this label are sold by waist measurement, running 28 to 44, which is how the size run reads. A full flat table is published on the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, and it runs: 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. This style has explicit fit guidance: it runs true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. Because that single step is the whole instruction, 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. The brand publishes no global size chart and no washing instructions anywhere on its store, which is worth stating plainly, so do not assume a care routine from the garment-dye alone.
What buyers are actually searching for
A large slice of the traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives typing the word jorts, and that word needs handling carefully. It is not used by the brand, anywhere, on any product page or in any product name. Searchers mean 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. 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. 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. The Los Angeles stores at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St and the Houston store at 5410 Almeda Rd are there for anyone shopping alocs clothing in person, and anyone shopping online should re-check the current price before buying, since everything quoted here is a September 2026 snapshot.
