Double Cup Cargo Shorts: the spec sheet
Exactly one product makes up 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. The color is delivered by 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. The specifics run to double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly, and a custom leather patch. Carried over from the graphics into the pocket alocs jorts build, the brand’s own cup motif is what the name refers to. Four colorways are listed, Grey, Black/Green, Purple and Red, 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.
What sits on the shorts rail besides denim
Headline though denim is, it is one style inside a much wider shorts offering, and that wider offering is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. Around the $150 mark the main tier 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. The Awful Lot Of Chiefin Heavily Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts round out that price tier, with the sweat short being the obvious pairing for 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. A Mystery Shorts item is also listed 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.
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. 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 nearest thing the catalogue has to a full-length companion for the cargo short is those carpenter pants, 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. 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. 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.
A glance across the lineup
Only what the brand publishes goes into the table below, and nothing beyond it. The cell says so rather than guessing at a number wherever a product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement. Prices come straight from the brand’s own store as of September 2026 and will move with drops, restocks and sale periods. The fit notes run per product, because 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. Use it as a shortlist and then open the individual listing for the style you want before choosing a size.

Sizing: go by the waist, not the letter
Waist measurement, running 28 to 44, is how denim and workwear are sold at this label, and it removes most of the guesswork that letter sizing introduces. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts come with 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. This style has explicit fit guidance: it runs true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. The whole instruction is that single step, so going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized. Elsewhere on the shorts rail measurements mostly are not published, which leaves the per-product fit sentence as the only guidance you get. 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. The brand uses it nowhere, not on any product page and not 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 shows the same pattern, getting 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. The checks that hold up are garment ones: 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.
