The shape of the bottoms range
The quieter half of the range at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup is the bottoms, and they reward a slow read. The range sorts into three groups: heavyweight fleece sweatpants for LA streetwear label daily wear, printed and dyed pairs carrying the same artwork as the shirts, and workwear trousers built on Dickies bodies and denim. Each of the three has its own pricing, its own cloth and its own sizing basis. 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. A single chart covering every fit is what it does not publish. Sizing and what each pair sits well beside come after the groups, which the sections below take in turn.
Daily fleece: the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants
The Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants hold down the category and are the pair to look at first. The brand publishes the construction 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. Fourteen ounces sits well above a standard gym sweat, so they hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes. The fit note is published in plain terms: this style fits true to size. On the brand’s own store they sit at about $200 as of September 2026, level with the core hoodies, and a label that drops weekly moves its pricing without notice. Should you only ever own one pair of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms, this is the one.
The printed and dyed sweatpants
The leg becomes a print surface in a small group of sweatpants beside the classic pair. Among the current names are 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. 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. Because they open through the lower leg instead of tapering, the flare cuts are the outlier and read differently over a shoe. Read the 14 oz figure as specific to the classic pair, because the brand does not publish a weight for every one of them. In cough syrup clothing the two rarely need to compete, so choosing comes down to whether you want the artwork on your legs or your chest.
Workwear bottoms: Dickies cuts, carpenter pants and denim
Walked past by buyers, the third group is also 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 come in black, blue and tan at about $300 each, and the denim collection holds a single piece: the Double Cup Cargo Shorts at about $150, marked down from $300. The published description 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. The thickest construction detail sits in this corner, yet a thats a awful lot of cough syrup search rarely lands here.
Shorts, and their place in the same family
Hardly seasonal in a Los Angeles label, shorts behave like a fourth group. 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 listed at about $100 and the Women’s Booty Shorts at 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. The single denim piece in the collection is the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, sized by waist rather than by letter. Put plainly: the brand never uses the word jorts, so denim cargo shorts is the name to search on.
The way the brand sizes bottoms
Read this section twice, 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 use waist measurement instead, from 28 through 44, which is why the cargo shorts and the carpenter pants never appear in the letter-size list. True to size is the published default, and the classic sweatpants, hoodie and tee all carry that exact note, while a handful of styles publish their own instruction. 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. The brand publishes no global size chart.
Every bottom at a glance
The table below gathers what the brand itself publishes and nothing more. Check the prices again: they are the figures shown at its own store as of September 2026, and stock and pricing both move constantly here. The brand simply does not state a weight or blend for that style wherever a cell reads not published. The sizing basis column is the one that matters most, since it tells you whether you are choosing a letter or a waist measurement. Take apparel sizes as the XS to 3XL ladder and waist as the 28 to 44 range. Read the price column as a band rather than a quote.

What goes with what
Pairing here is an exercise in restraint that rewards holding back, because the graphics already do the talking. A printed sweatpant calls for a plain top, and a printed awful lot of cough syrup tee or hoodie wants a quiet bottom, usually the classic fleece pair in one colour. The workwear trousers are the most flexible pieces exactly because they are the least decorated, so the Dickies cuts and the carpenter pants carry a loud top without argument. 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. Matching a hoodie and sweatpants from the same named capsule is the easiest route if you are building a set. Black and yellow are the signature pairing, colour being straightforward here, and the woven label supplies enough yellow on its own.
Buying notes for 2026
The real constraint on this category is stock, not price. 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 sit at 7669 Melrose Avenue and 312 West 5th Street in Los Angeles, plus one on Almeda Road in Houston. 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. 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. September 2026 was when every price quoted here was current, and they will move.
