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. Built from 14 oz denim, a mid-weight that holds a leg shape rather than collapsing, the short carries a mid rise. The color is set by a garment dye, applied through what the brand calls a double dye process to shorts collection mimic sun-fading, so two pairs in the same colorway will not be identical. The build details are specific: 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, 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. 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. The Glocc Shorts, Mexico Glocc Shorts and USA Glocc Shorts fill the main tier at about $150, running 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 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. On top of 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. What the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026 is where every one of these figures comes from, and this label re-prices with drops.
The other pieces cut from denim and workwear
Denim buyers should know the shorts are not the end of it, even though they are the only denim short. Black, Blue and Tan are the colors on the ALOCS Denim Jacket 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. 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. 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.
A glance across the lineup
Nothing beyond what the brand publishes goes into the table below. The cell says so rather than guessing at a number wherever a product page gives no fabric weight or flat measurement. 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. A full published measurement table exists for the denim short alone, and that is why it carries the most detail. Before you pick a size, read it as a shortlist and then open the individual listing for the style you want.

Sizing: read the waist, not the letter
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. 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. 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. Fit guidance on this style is explicit: 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 rest of the shorts rail, mostly, 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 really 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. Since the Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the only denim short in the catalogue, that is what searchers mean, and the useful translation is simply that the jorts everybody is asking about are the Double Cup Cargo Shorts. None of the spellings people type are the brand’s own, and the brand name itself runs the same pattern, coming out as awful lot of cough syrup, awful lotta cough syrup and a dozen other near-misses. 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. 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 are the checks that work. Buying alocs clothing in person means 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.
