The shape of the range of bottoms
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 sorts 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. Across most product pages the brand publishes fabric weights and blends, more than many independent labels bother with, and those numbers are the most useful thing to read before you commit. Each of the three has shop the official store its own pricing, its own cloth and its own sizing basis. A single chart covering every fit is what it does not publish. Group by group, the sections below then cover sizing and what each pair sits well beside.
Everyday fleece, the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants
Begin with the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants, the pair that anchors the category. Published in plain terms, 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. Fourteen ounces sits well above a standard gym sweat, so they hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes. At the brand’s own store they come in at about $200 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. If you only ever own one pair of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms, this is the one.
Printed and dyed pairs
The leg turns into a print surface in a small group of sweatpants beside the classic pair. The current names run to 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. Widening through the lower leg instead of tapering, the flare cuts are the outlier and read differently over a shoe. Here is where the graphic habits land on a bottom: large screen prints, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, and the wordmark that carries the tees. Since a weight is not published for every one of them, the 14 oz figure belongs to the classic pair alone. Choosing comes down to whether you want the artwork on your legs or your chest, because in cough syrup clothing the two rarely need to compete.
The 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. Across the Dickies line the published blend is 65% cotton and 35% polyester, a hard-wearing cloth rather than a soft fashion twill. The Cough Syrup Loose Fit Dickies Pants are listed 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. Those are published as 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 fit in the same family
Barely seasonal in a Los Angeles label, shorts behave like a fourth group. Most alocs shorts come in at about $150 as of September 2026: 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. The natural companion to the fleece pants is the Classic Sweat Shorts, built from the same vocabulary rather than the denim one. Sized by waist rather than by letter, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the only denim piece in the collection. The brand never uses the word jorts, which means denim cargo shorts is the name to search on.
How the brand sizes bottoms
The commonest source of a wasted order is here, so read this part twice. With small through extra-large on nearly every style and 3XL on a smaller group of products, apparel runs XS to 3XL. Waist measurement covers denim and workwear instead, from 28 through 44, which is why the cargo shorts and the carpenter pants never appear in the letter-size list. The published default is true to size, and the classic sweatpants, hoodie and tee all carry that exact note, while a handful of styles publish their own instruction. The brand publishes no global size chart. The brand’s own sizing pages render 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.
Every bottom at a glance
Whatever 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. Where a cell reads not published, the brand simply does not state a weight or blend for that style. The sizing basis column is the one that matters most, since it tells you whether you are choosing a letter or a waist measurement. A band rather than a quote is how to read the price column. The XS to 3XL ladder is what apparel sizes means, and the 28 to 44 range is what waist means.

What goes with what
Because the graphics already do the talking, pairing here is an exercise in restraint. A plain top with a printed sweatpant, and a quiet bottom with a printed awful lot of cough syrup tee or hoodie, usually the classic fleece pair in one colour. Under 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. 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 easiest route for building a set is matching a hoodie and sweatpants from the same named capsule. Black and yellow are the signature pairing, colour being straightforward here, and the woven label supplies enough yellow on its own.
Notes on buying in 2026
The real constraint on this category is stock, not price. A large share of size variants sit out of stock at any moment, because the brand sells in batch drops to its own online store and through its shops, 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. The three checks come before accepting a pair as genuine: the yellow woven label, the published fabric weight and the product name against the brand’s own catalogue. Markdowns happen and reward waiting, 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.
