Inside the release pattern at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup
At this label merchandise arrives in batches rather than seasons. Every week or two new lines hit the brand’s own online store, then sell through its shops in Los Angeles and Houston. That store’s feed, read thats an awful lot of cough on 29 September 2026, holds posting dates that cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Nowhere is a drop calendar published. Fast clearance is the rule: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent. Coverage of the label centres on long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops.
Just one mechanic runs permanently, the mystery item: a mystery tee at about $75, mystery shorts at about $50, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. Treat those as a snapshot, since prices and stock shift constantly. No restock policy is published, so a sold-out size may never return. Restocks are often promised in listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing; the brand has promised nothing of the kind.

The collaboration record, and how to read it
Set out here is every collaboration and activation the research documents, in date order, nothing added from resale chatter. Each entry names where it came from: coverage published at the time, a partner’s own post, the brand’s blog, or a store feed date. What a feed date records is when product went live, not when a deal was struck. Promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, is what the brand’s name refers to, and that explains the medical and horror imagery in these releases. Several entries are thin, and they stay thin. Where a piece list or a price was never published, none is invented here.
8 April 2023: the Cookies pop-up
It launched on 8 April 2023 as That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies. The earliest dated collaboration is with Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner. The drop ran as a pop-up at the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Because an outside publication covered it at the time, it belongs in the confirmed column. That coverage comes with no piece list and no prices. Note it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry.
28 April 2023: BlueBucksClan, and That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary
Titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, it was released on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. Three weeks later came a capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan. The late Drakeo The Ruler was honored by the drop, and every account of it leads with that. It is one of the few releases documented by an outside publication at the time. The sourcing reaches to the event and the intent, not the fabric. Date this one and stop, if you are cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations.
11 March 2024: the 310babii announcement
The brand’s own blog announced a collaboration with 310babii on 11 March 2024. That post is the only source, which makes the date solid and the substance thin. Set the blog against the store feed and it still does not settle which products belonged to it. The piece count, the colorways and the prices are fixed by nothing. A March 2024 stretch opens here that was busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. The honest entry is a name and a date.
14 to 17 March 2024: Rolling Loud California
Nothing documented runs bigger than Rolling Loud California, staged from 14 to 17 March 2024 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. The brand assembled a carnival on site, with arcade games and a swing ride, and worked two onsite stores across the four days. That is the whole sourced description, from the brand’s own release. A footprint that size is not a capsule: it sold product, but 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. No attendance figure and no product list appear in the documentation.
19 March 2024: the pop-up at Got Sole
Two days after the festival closed, the brand turned up at Got Sole in Los Angeles on 19 March 2024. The record is a recap on the brand’s own blog, the label’s account of its own booth. Got Sole runs as a sneaker and streetwear convention, which makes this trade-show retail, not a partnership. A collaborative product exclusive to that weekend is documented nowhere. The entry delivers a date, plus the fact that the brand works conventions. Inflating it further would be fabrication.
29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection release
The post names a hoodie, a tee, a fitted cap and a dad hat, and kids tees, which is the clearest piece list in this record. The Dodger Collection closed March out, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. It is also the only documented headwear inside a named collection, which matters practically. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. Since the store’s hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, no cap from it can be bought new. Date it to March 2024 and then describe the contents the way the brand did.
April 2024: Trapstar London
Evidence from a partner outweighs a reseller’s caption and removes the question of who authorized what. The strongest evidence here belongs to Trapstar: the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. Nothing documents an official piece list beyond the hoodie. On a resale platform, a Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Because resale platforms hold secondhand records, that figure is reported rather than confirmed. Among every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.
1 August 2025: Rhime shoes
As of September 2026 The Rhime Shoes sat at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store; prices change. Rhime USA brought footwear into the catalogue, its shoes published to the store on 1 August 2025. Tracing most of its collaborations means reading dated posts, because they never get a permanent catalogue home. Outside the store listing, no launch coverage was found. They are the only product inside the store’s own collaborations collection. The entry is a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.
24 July 2026: the capsule with Stinc Team
Newest on the documented record 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. Nothing in the material reviewed shows a press release with it. It is confirmed as product, a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.
What is confirmed, what is claimed and what merely circulates
A dated source holds up everything above, and three further items lack one. 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. The products are real and 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. Music artists are also named in that press release as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself. Neither of those has independent confirmation, and calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. The table keeps the two columns apart on purpose.
