That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup and the way it releases product
Stock turns up here in batches and not seasons. New lines appear on the brand’s own online store at a week-or-two clip, then sell through its shops in Los Angeles and Houston. Publication dates in that store’s feed, read on 29 September 2026, cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops turn up in alocs mesh shorts outside coverage of the label. No drop calendar is published anywhere. Stock clears fast: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent.
Mystery pieces are the one ongoing mechanic: a mystery tee at about $75, mystery shorts at about $50, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. Take those as a snapshot only, since prices and stock shift constantly. No restock policy is published, so a sold-out size may never return. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing frequently promise restocks, but the brand has promised nothing of the kind.
Reading the dated collaboration record
Below is every collaboration and activation the research documents, in date order, nothing added from resale chatter. Each entry identifies where it came from: coverage published at the time, a partner’s own post, the brand’s blog, or a store feed date. A feed date records when product went live, not when 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. Some entries are thin here and are left thin.
8 April 2023: the pop-up staged with Cookies
It launched on 8 April 2023 as That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies. Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner, takes the earliest dated collaboration here. It ran as a pop-up inside the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. It sits in the confirmed column, since an outside publication covered it at the time. It is a dated event to record, not a catalogue entry. There is no piece list and there are no prices in that coverage.
28 April 2023: BlueBucksClan and That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary
A capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan followed three weeks later. The release, titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, came on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. Honoring the late Drakeo The Ruler stands at the front of every account of the drop. Only a few releases were documented by an outside publication at the time, and this is one. The sourcing reaches to the event and the intent, not the fabric. Anyone cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations should date this one and stop.
11 March 2024: the collaboration with 310babii
With that post as the only source, the date is solid and the substance is thin. On 11 March 2024 the brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog. 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. It starts a March 2024 stretch busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. The honest entry comes down to a name and a date.
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. The brand assembled a carnival on site, with arcade games and a swing ride, and worked two onsite stores across the four days. The whole sourced description stops there, and it comes from the brand’s own release. It also supplies a rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner. No attendance figure or product list is documented. A footprint that size is not a capsule: it sold product, but it was staged as an attraction.
19 March 2024: the Got Sole pop-up
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. The entry delivers a date, plus the fact that the brand works conventions. Got Sole operates as a sneaker and streetwear convention, which makes this trade-show retail, not a partnership. No documentation shows a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. Anything more would be fabrication.
29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection release
On 29 March 2024 the brand’s blog published the Dodger Collection, closing the month. 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. It is also the only documented headwear inside a named collection, which matters practically. The store’s hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, so no cap from it can be bought new. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. Date it to March 2024 and describe the contents as the brand did.
April 2024: Trapstar out of London
Trapstar carries the strongest evidence here: the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. A partner’s evidence outweighs a reseller’s caption and takes away the question of who authorized what. Nothing documents an official piece list beyond the hoodie. A resale platform lists a Trapstar collaboration hoodie at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Resale platforms hold secondhand records, so that figure is reported rather than confirmed. This is the entry to lean on hardest of all of them.
1 August 2025: Rhime shoes
Footwear entered the catalogue through Rhime USA, whose shoes were published to the store on 1 August 2025. The listing put The Rhime Shoes at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026; prices change. The store’s own collaborations collection contains only this product. Tracing most of its collaborations means reading dated posts, because they never get a permanent catalogue home. No launch coverage outside the store listing was found. The entry counts as a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.
24 July 2026: the capsule with Stinc Team
It covers an ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. The most recent documented collaboration is Stinc Team, published to the store on 24 July 2026. No press release accompanied it in the material reviewed. Shorts in it sat at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. The date comes from the store feed, so it marks when product went live. It is confirmed as product, a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.
What is confirmed, what is claimed and what merely circulates
All of the above rests on a dated source, while three further items do not. 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. Second is a Cartoon Network collaboration; it 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. Both of those lack independent confirmation, and calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. On purpose, the table keeps the two columns apart. That press release also names music artists as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself.
