How the bottoms range is shaped
Bottoms make up the quieter half of the catalogue at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, and they reward a slow read. The range falls into three groups: heavyweight fleece sweatpants for daily wear, printed and dyed pairs carrying the same artwork as the shirts, and workwear trousers built on Dickies bodies and denim. Weights and blends are the most useful thing to read before you commit, and the brand https://awfullottacoughsyrup.com/product-category/shorts/ publishes them on most product pages, which is more than many independent labels bother with. Each group is priced differently, cut from a different cloth and sized on a different basis. There is no single chart covering every fit. Sizing and what each pair sits well beside follow the groups, which the sections below take in turn.
The everyday fleece: the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants
Begin with the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants, the pair that anchors the category. Plainly published, the construction is a 14 oz fleece made of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester, with the signature Cough Syrup logo screen printed across the front and up the back legs. They hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes, because fourteen ounces is heavier than a standard gym sweat. They sit at about $200 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, level with the core hoodies, and a label that drops weekly moves its pricing without notice. The published fit note is short and unambiguous: this style fits true to size. This is the one to own if you only ever buy one pair of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms.
The printed and dyed pairs
A small group of sweatpants sits beside the classic pair and treats the leg as a print surface. Current names include the Classic Flare Sweatpants, the ALOCS Athletic Dept. Sweatpants and the Blurred Lines Sweatpants, all at about $200 as of September 2026, plus the Flare Classic Sweapants at about $150, a spelling that is the brand’s own. Opening through the lower leg instead of tapering, the flare cuts are the outlier and read differently over a shoe. The label’s graphic habits land on a bottom here: large screen prints, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, and the wordmark that carries the tees. Your legs or your chest is really the choice, because in cough syrup clothing the two rarely need to compete. Since a weight is not published for every one of them, the 14 oz figure belongs to the classic pair alone.
Workwear bottoms, Dickies cuts, carpenter pants and denim
The third group is the one buyers tend to overlook, and the most durable thing the label makes. A Dickies line runs through the catalogue, and the published blend across those pieces is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, a hard-wearing cloth rather than a soft fashion twill. The Cough Syrup Loose Fit Dickies Pants sit at about $250 and the Glocc Dickies Pants at about $300, both checked in September 2026. The ALOCS Carpenter Pants sit at about $300 each in black, blue and tan, while the denim collection holds a single piece: the Double Cup Cargo Shorts at about $150, marked down from $300. What the page publishes is a mid-rise 14 oz denim, garment-dyed through a double dye process meant to mimic sun-fading, with double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side and a custom leather patch. Rarely does a thats a awful lot of cough syrup search land here, and yet this corner holds the thickest construction detail.
Shorts, and where they belong in the same family
Barely seasonal in a Los Angeles label, shorts behave like a fourth group. At about $150 as of September 2026 sit most alocs shorts: the Glocc Shorts and their Mexico and USA variants, the Awful Lot Of Stincs Shorts, the ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon Shorts and the Classic Sweat Shorts. The Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts sit at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at about $60, so this shelf spans a wider range than the sweatpants do. The Classic Sweat Shorts are the obvious companion to the fleece pants, built from the same vocabulary rather than the denim one. The single denim piece in the collection is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, sized by waist rather than by letter. Worth saying plainly: the brand never uses the word jorts, so denim cargo shorts is the name to search on.
The way the brand sizes bottoms
Give this part a second read, because it is the commonest source of a wasted order. With small through extra-large on nearly every style and 3XL on a smaller group of products, apparel runs XS to 3XL. Denim and workwear go by waist measurement instead, from 28 through 44, which is why the cargo shorts and the carpenter pants never appear in the letter-size list. The classic sweatpants, hoodie and tee all carry that exact note, the published default being true to size, while a handful of styles publish their own instruction. There is no global size chart. Its own sizing pages render without any chart content as of September 2026, which makes a measurement table you find for alocs clothing elsewhere a third party’s reconstruction rather than a published figure.
Every bottom at a glance
The table below gathers what the brand itself publishes and nothing more. Re-check the prices: they are the figures shown at its own store as of September 2026, and stock and pricing both move constantly here. Where a cell reads not published, the brand simply does not state a weight or blend for that style. Letter or waist measurement is what the sizing basis column tells you, and that makes it the column that matters most. Read the price column as a band rather than a quote. The XS to 3XL ladder is what apparel sizes means, and the 28 to 44 range is what waist means.

What sits well with what
Pairing here comes down to restraint, because the graphics already do the talking. A quiet bottom, usually the classic fleece pair in one colour, belongs under a printed awful lot of cough syrup tee or hoodie, just as a plain top suits a printed sweatpant. The cargo shorts, being garment-dyed denim with visible pocket construction, read as a statement themselves and sit better under a blank tee. The Dickies cuts and the carpenter pants carry a loud top without argument, because the workwear trousers are the most flexible pieces precisely for being the least decorated. The simplest route for building a set is matching a hoodie and sweatpants from the same named capsule. Colour is the simple part: black and yellow are the signature pairing, and the woven label supplies enough yellow on its own.
Buying notes for 2026
Price is not the constraint here; stock is. The brand sells in batch drops through its own online store and its shops, and a large share of size variants sit out of stock at any moment, so the pair you want may not be there this week. Those shops are at 7669 Melrose Avenue and 312 West 5th Street in Los Angeles, plus one on Almeda Road in Houston. Before accepting a pair as genuine, check the yellow woven label, the published fabric weight and the product name against the brand’s own catalogue. Markdowns happen and are worth waiting for, with the cargo shorts at about $150 from $300 the clearest example, and mystery items run as standing clearance, including mystery sweatpants at about $100 against $200. Every price quoted here was current in September 2026 and will move.
