How the bottoms range is shaped
Bottoms form the quieter half of the catalogue at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, and they reward a slow read. Three groups make up the range: 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. Across most product pages the brand publishes fabric weights and blends, more than many independent labels bother with, and those numbers are the alocs gym shorts most useful thing to read before you commit. Each of the three has its own pricing, its own cloth and its own sizing basis. It publishes no single chart covering every fit. Sizing and what each pair sits well beside follow the groups, which the sections below take in turn.
Daily fleece: the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants
The pair to look at first is the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants, which anchor the category. The construction is published plainly: 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. Because fourteen ounces is heavier than a standard gym sweat, they hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes. Reckon on 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. Short and unambiguous, the published fit note reads: this style fits true to size. One pair only of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms means this one.
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. 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. Widening through the lower leg instead of tapering, the flare cuts are the outlier and read differently over a shoe. Legs or chest is really the choice, because in cough syrup clothing the two rarely need to compete. The brand does not publish a weight for all of them, so treat the 14 oz figure as specific to the classic pair.
Workwear bottoms, Dickies cuts, carpenter pants and denim
Walked past by buyers, the third group is also 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. Offered in black, blue and tan, the ALOCS Carpenter Pants sit at about $300 each, and the denim collection holds a single piece: the Double Cup Cargo Shorts at about $150, marked down from $300. What the brand 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. A thats a awful lot of cough syrup search seldom lands here, yet this corner holds the thickest construction detail.
Shorts, and where they sit in the same family
Shorts act as a fourth group, and in a Los Angeles label they are barely seasonal. Around $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 are about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts about $60, so this shelf spans a wider range than the sweatpants do. Drawing on the same vocabulary rather than the denim one, the Classic Sweat Shorts are the natural companion to the fleece pants. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the collection’s only denim piece and are sized by waist rather than by letter. Plainly put: the brand never uses the word jorts, so denim cargo shorts is the name to search on.
The way the brand sizes bottoms
It is the commonest source of a wasted order, so read this part twice. The apparel ladder runs XS to 3XL, with small through extra-large on nearly every style and 3XL on a smaller group of products. 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. 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 brand’s own sizing pages load without any chart content as of September 2026, so a measurement table you find for alocs clothing elsewhere is a third party’s reconstruction rather than a published figure. No global size chart exists.
Bottoms, at a glance
What the brand itself publishes, and nothing more, is what the table below collects. Prices are the figures shown at its own store as of September 2026 and should be re-checked, because stock and pricing both move constantly here. Because it tells you whether you are choosing a letter or a waist measurement, the sizing basis column matters most. A cell reading not published means the brand simply does not state a weight or blend for that style. Read apparel sizes as the XS to 3XL ladder and waist as the 28 to 44 range. A band rather than a quote is how to read the price column.

Pairing: what goes 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. Beneath a blank tee is where the cargo shorts sit best, since garment-dyed denim with visible pocket construction reads as a statement on its own. Being the least decorated, the workwear trousers are the most flexible pieces, so the Dickies cuts and the carpenter pants carry a loud top without argument. The signature pairing is black and yellow, colour is straightforward, and the woven label supplies enough yellow on its own. Matching a hoodie and sweatpants from the same named capsule is the easiest route if you are building a set.
What to know before buying in 2026
The real constraint on this category is stock, not price. Selling in batch drops to its own online store and through its shops, the brand leaves a large share of size variants out of stock at any moment, so the pair you want may not be there this week. The 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. The prices quoted here were current in September 2026 and will move.
