Double Cup Cargo Shorts: the spec sheet in full
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. The fabric used 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, www.awfullottacoughsyrup.com/product-category/t-shirts two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. Construction is described 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. The size run goes by waist rather than by letter, and four colorways are listed, Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red. At the brand’s own store the price lands 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
Most alocs shorts searches actually end up in the much wider shorts offering around that single denim style, headline though denim is. Around the $150 mark the main tier holds 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, as well as 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 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. These figures are all what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and this label re-prices with drops.
Beyond the shorts: 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. At about $300 each the ALOCS Denim Jacket runs in Black, Blue and Tan, and the ALOCS Carpenter Pants run in the same three colors at the same price. Those carpenter pants come nearest to a full-length companion for the cargo short in this catalogue, and they carry the same waist-based sizing logic. Beside the denim sits 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. 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
The table below lists what the brand publishes, and nothing beyond it. No fabric weight or flat measurement on the product page means the cell says so rather than guessing at a number. Prices are lifted 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. Most detail sits on the denim short, since it is the only entry with a full published measurement table. Use it as a shortlist and then open the individual listing for the style you want before choosing 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. On the Double Cup Cargo Shorts the full flat table runs 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. A half inch per size is how the inseam moves, so the short stays roughly the same length on the leg as the waist grows rather than dropping toward the knee. It runs true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one, which is how explicit the fit guidance is on this style. Going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized, because that single step is the whole instruction. 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. 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
Traffic looking for denim shorts from this label arrives in large part 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. 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 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. 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. 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.
