ALOCS Mesh Shorts Buyer Guide Long Term Review

How the bottoms range is shaped

At That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, bottoms are the quieter half of the catalogue, and they reward 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. Those numbers are the most useful thing to read before you commit, and the brand publishes them on most product pages, which is more alocs denim shorts than many independent labels bother with. A different price, a different cloth separates each group, which is also cut from a different cloth and sized on a different basis. 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.

Everyday fleece: the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants

Begin with the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants, the pair that anchors the category. What the brand publishes 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. Because fourteen ounces is heavier than a standard gym sweat, they hold their shape rather than going slack after a few washes. 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. The fit note is published in four words: this style fits true to size. This is the one to own if one pair of awful lot of cough syrup bottoms is all you want.

The printed and the dyed pairs

A small group of sweatpants sits next to 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 flare cuts are the outlier, opening through the lower leg instead of tapering, and they read differently over a shoe. The graphic habits land on a bottom here: large screen prints, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, and the wordmark that carries the tees. 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. Read the 14 oz figure as specific to the classic pair, because the brand does not publish a weight for every one of them.

Workwear: Dickies cuts, carpenter pants and denim

Overlooked by buyers, the third group is also the most durable thing the label makes. The Cough Syrup Loose Fit Dickies Pants come in at about $250 and the Glocc Dickies Pants at about $300, both checked in September 2026. Hard-wearing cloth rather than a soft fashion twill: the brand runs a Dickies line whose published blend is 65% cotton and 35% polyester. 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. This corner holds the thickest construction detail, yet a thats a awful lot of cough syrup search rarely lands here.

Shorts, and where they sit in the same family

Hardly seasonal in a Los Angeles label, shorts behave like a fourth group. 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. 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 natural companion to the fleece pants is the Classic Sweat Shorts, built from the same vocabulary rather than the denim one. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts are the collection’s only denim piece and are sized by waist rather than by letter. The brand never uses the word jorts, so denim cargo shorts is the name to search on.

How bottoms are sized here

Read this section twice, because it is the commonest source of a wasted order. Apparel is sized 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. 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 brand publishes no global size chart. 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.

Every bottom at a glance

The table below holds 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. Letter or waist measurement is what the sizing basis column tells you, and that makes it the column that matters most. The brand does not state a weight or blend for that style wherever a cell reads not published. The XS to 3XL ladder is what apparel sizes means, and the 28 to 44 range is what waist means. Take the price column as a band rather than a quote.

What sits well 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. 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 cargo shorts, as garment-dyed denim with visible pocket construction, read as a statement themselves and sit better under a blank tee. Should you be building a set, matching a hoodie and sweatpants from the same named capsule is the simplest route. 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

Price is not the constraint here; stock is. 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. Those shops are at 7669 Melrose Avenue and 312 West 5th Street in Los Angeles, plus one on Almeda Road in Houston. 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. 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. The prices quoted here were current in September 2026 and will move.
