Double Cup Cargo Shorts: the spec sheet

Right now the denim collection at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup comes to exactly one product, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. Built from 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, it carries a mid rise. Two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical, because the color comes from a garment dye applied through what urban hoodie the brand calls a double dye process to mimic sun-fading. The construction details are spelled out: 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 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 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

A much wider shorts offering surrounds that single denim style, and it is where most alocs shorts searches actually end up. Three variations on the same graphic idea, the Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts, sit in the main tier at about $150. 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 finish that price tier, with the sweat short the obvious pairing for 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. 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. 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 is cut from denim and workwear

If denim is the reason you are here, the shorts are not the end of it, they are just the only denim short. The ALOCS Denim Jacket runs in Black, Blue and Tan 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. Sitting next to the denim is 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. That blend is the giveaway that workwear and denim are different propositions here: one is a hard-wearing poly-cotton twill, the other is raw weight in cotton. Right across the range the construction signals stay constant, the signature yellow woven label appearing garment after garment in the brand’s own copy. 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.

The whole lineup at a glance

The table below lists 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. 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.

Read the waist rather than the letter when sizing

Here, 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. 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. 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. The whole instruction is that single step, so going up two on a 14 oz denim body will read as baggy rather than oversized. Most of the rest of the shorts rail does not publish measurements, which means the per-product fit sentence is the only guidance you get. No global size chart and no washing instructions appear anywhere on the store, which is worth stating plainly, so do not assume a care routine from the garment-dye alone.

What people are actually searching for

Traffic looking for denim shorts from this label largely 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 Double Cup Cargo Shorts are what searchers mean by it, being 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 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. A lot of stores selling cough syrup clothing under those spellings have no connection to the label at all, which is why it matters practically. Checking the garment is what works: 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.
