The shape the bottoms range takes
At That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, bottoms are the quieter half of the catalogue, and they repay a slow read. Sorted into three groups, the range holds 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. The groups are priced differently, cut from a different cloth and sized on a different basis. Those numbers are the most useful thing to read before you commit, and the brand publishes them on most product pages, which is more than many independent labels bother with. What the brand does not publish is a single chart covering every Desto Dubb streetwear fit. Sizing and what each pair sits well beside come after the groups, which the sections below take in turn.
The everyday fleece: the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants
The first pair to look at is the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants, which anchor the category. 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. They hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes, because fourteen ounces is heavier than a standard gym sweat. At 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. Short and unambiguous, the published fit note reads: this style fits true to size. If one pair of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms is all you will ever own, this is the one.
The printed and the dyed pairs
Alongside the classic pair is a small group of sweatpants treating the leg as a print surface. 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. 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. Treat the 14 oz figure as specific to the classic pair, because the brand does not publish a weight for every one of them. Your legs or your chest is really the choice, because in cough syrup clothing the two rarely need to compete.
Workwear bottoms: Dickies cuts, carpenter pants and denim
Overlooked 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. 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. Rarely does a thats a awful lot of cough syrup search land here, and yet this corner holds the thickest construction detail.
Shorts, and their place in the same family
Shorts act as a fourth group, and in a Los Angeles label they are barely seasonal. 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 Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the only denim piece in the collection and are 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.
How the brand sizes bottoms
A second reading pays here for this part, because it is the commonest source of a wasted order. Small through extra-large covers nearly every style and 3XL a smaller group of products, on an apparel ladder that 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. Set as the default, true to size is the note carried by the classic sweatpants, hoodie and tee, while a handful of styles publish their own instruction. 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. The brand publishes no global size chart.
The 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. The sizing basis column matters most, since it tells you whether you are choosing a letter or a waist measurement. A cell reading not published means the brand simply does not state a weight or blend for that style. Apparel sizes means the XS to 3XL ladder, and waist means the 28 to 44 range. Read the price column as a band rather than a quote.

What sits well with what
Pairing here is an exercise in restraint that rewards holding back, because the graphics already do the talking. A quiet bottom, usually the classic fleece pair in one colour, suits a printed awful lot of cough syrup tee or hoodie, just as a plain top suits a printed sweatpant. Garment-dyed denim with visible pocket construction, the cargo shorts 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. Colour is simple enough: black and yellow are the signature pairing, 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.
Notes on buying in 2026
Stock is the real constraint on this category, 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. Markdowns are real and 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. 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. All the prices quoted here were current in September 2026 and will move.
