That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup and the way it issues product
Here merchandise ships in batches instead of seasons. Every week or two fresh lines go live on the brand’s own online store, then sell through its shops in Los Angeles and Houston. That alocs shorts store’s feed, read on 29 September 2026, holds posting dates that cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Press coverage of the label describes long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops. A drop calendar is published nowhere. Stock clears fast: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent.
The one standing mechanic is the mystery item: a mystery tee at about $75, mystery shorts at about $50, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. Those figures are a snapshot, since prices and stock shift constantly. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing often promise restocks; the brand has promised nothing of the kind. A sold-out size may never return, because no restock policy is published.
The collaboration record, and how it was built
Every collaboration and activation the research documents follows, in date order, with nothing added from resale chatter. Each entry names its source: coverage published at the time, a partner’s own post, the brand’s blog, or a store feed date. A feed date logs the moment product went live, not the moment a deal was struck. Where a piece list or a price was never published, none is invented here. The brand’s name refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, which explains the medical and horror imagery in these releases. A number of entries are thin, and they stay thin.
8 April 2023: the pop-up with Cookies
Titled That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies, it launched on 8 April 2023. The earliest dated collaboration is with Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner. The pop-up sat at the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Coverage from an outside publication at the time is what puts it in the confirmed column. It is a dated event to record, not a catalogue entry. No piece list and no prices are given in that coverage.
28 April 2023: BlueBucksClan and That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary
It was titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary and released on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. The capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan arrived three weeks later. It honored the late Drakeo The Ruler, and every account of the drop leads with that. Just a few releases were documented by an outside publication at the time, and this is one. What the sourcing covers is the event and the intent, not the fabric. Anyone building a catalogue of thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations should date this one and stop.
11 March 2024: the 310babii announcement
The brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog on 11 March 2024. With that post as the only source, the date is solid and the substance is thin. Reading the blog against the store feed does not settle which products belonged to it. Nothing pins down the piece count, the colorways or the prices. A March 2024 stretch opens here that was busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. A name and a date are the honest entry.
14 to 17 March 2024: Rolling Loud California
The largest documented activation is Rolling Loud California, staged from 14 to 17 March 2024 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. On site the brand built a carnival, with arcade games and a swing ride, and it ran two onsite stores across the four days. That, from the brand’s own release, is the whole sourced description. No attendance figure or product list is documented. Something that size is not a capsule: it sold product, yet it was staged as an attraction. It also supplies a rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner.
19 March 2024: the pop-up at Got Sole
What survives is a recap on the brand’s own blog, the label’s account of its own booth. On 19 March 2024 the brand appeared at Got Sole in Los Angeles, two days after the festival closed. Since Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. No documentation records a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. What the entry gives is a date and the fact that the brand works conventions. Anything more would be fabrication.
29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection
March closed with the Dodger Collection, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. Listed in the post are a hoodie, a tee, a fitted cap and a dad hat, and kids tees, the clearest piece list in this record. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. No other named collection has documented headwear, which matters practically. The store’s hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, so no cap from it can be bought new. Put the date at March 2024 and describe the contents as the brand did.
April 2024: Trapstar out of London
The strongest evidence here belongs to Trapstar: the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. Evidence from a partner outweighs a reseller’s caption and removes the question of who authorized what. A Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued on a resale platform at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. No official piece list beyond the hoodie is documented. Resale platforms hold secondhand records, so that figure is reported rather than confirmed. Of every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.
1 August 2025: Rhime shoes
The Rhime Shoes were listed at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026; prices change. Footwear entered the catalogue through Rhime USA, whose shoes were published to the store on 1 August 2025. Outside the store listing, no launch coverage was found. They are the only product inside the store’s own collaborations collection. Tracing most of its collaborations means reading dated posts, since they never get a permanent catalogue home. The entry is a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.
24 July 2026: the Stinc Team capsule
The most recent documented collaboration is Stinc Team, published to the store on 24 July 2026. An ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts make it up, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. As of September 2026 shorts in it sat at about $150 at the brand’s own store. That date is a store feed date, so what it marks is when product went live. No press release accompanied it in the material reviewed. It is confirmed as product, a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.
Confirmed, claimed, or merely circulating
A dated source holds up everything above, and three further items lack one. The first is a capsule the store published on 12 September 2026 under the ALOCS x YSL name, a bandana at about $30 up to a hoodie at about $200. Real products, sold by the brand, but nothing establishes who the other party is, so no partner is named here and the capsule stands as unconfirmed. The second is a Cartoon Network collaboration, which surfaces on resale listings and in a store collection name but has no announcement and no licensing confirmation. Third is an LRG collaboration at ComplexCon, named once in the brand’s own press release with no date attached. The same press release also names music artists as past merch collaborators, an undated claim the brand makes about itself. Independent confirmation is missing for both, so calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. The two columns are kept apart in the table on purpose.
