Inside the drop rhythm at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup
Stock arrives here in batches instead of seasonal collections. Fresh lines go live on the brand’s own online store on a week-or-two cadence, then sell through its stores in Los Angeles and Houston. Posting 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 alocs zip up hoodie September. Long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops feature in press coverage of the label. No drop calendar is published anywhere. Stock moves fast, and that day 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out, close to 43 percent.
The one ongoing 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. Take those as a snapshot only, since prices and stock move constantly. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing routinely promise restocks, yet the brand has promised nothing of the kind. A sold-out size may never return, since no restock policy is published.
The collaboration record, and how it was built
What follows 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. Some entries are thin here and are left thin. None is invented here where a piece list or a price was never published. 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.
8 April 2023: the Cookies pop-up
The earliest collaboration carrying a date is the one with Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner. On 8 April 2023 it launched as That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies. The pop-up was hosted at the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Coverage from an outside publication at the time is what puts it in the confirmed column. That coverage includes no piece list and no prices. It is a dated event to record, 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. The capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan came three weeks later. The drop honored the late Drakeo The Ruler, and every account of it leads with that. This is one of the few releases an outside publication documented at the time. Date this one and stop, if you are cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations. The sourcing reaches to the event and the intent, not the fabric.
11 March 2024: the collaboration with 310babii
That post is the only source, which makes the date solid and the substance thin. On 11 March 2024 the brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog. It starts a March 2024 stretch busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. 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. The honest entry amounts to a name and a date.
14 to 17 March 2024: Rolling Loud California
Nothing documented is bigger than Rolling Loud California, staged from 14 to 17 March 2024 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. The brand built a carnival on site, with arcade games and a swing ride, and ran two onsite stores across the four days. That is the whole sourced description, from the brand’s own release. A rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner also comes from it. No attendance figure and no product list survive in the documentation. Something that size is not a capsule: it sold product, yet 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. Two days after the festival closed, the brand appeared at Got Sole in Los Angeles on 19 March 2024. What the entry gives is a date and the fact that the brand works conventions. 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. Anything more 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. March closed with the Dodger Collection, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. It is likewise the only documented headwear inside a named collection, and that matters practically. As of September 2026 the store’s hat collection returns no products, so 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
A partner’s evidence outweighs a reseller’s caption and takes away the question of who authorized what. Trapstar holds the strongest evidence here, because the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. On a resale platform, a Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued 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. Among 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. Rhime USA brought footwear into the catalogue, its shoes published to the store on 1 August 2025. Nothing beyond the store listing turned up as launch coverage. They are the only product inside the store’s own collaborations collection. Because most of its collaborations never get a permanent catalogue home, tracing them means reading dated posts. What the entry is: a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.
24 July 2026: the capsule with Stinc Team
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. Because the date comes from the store feed, it marks when product went live. In the material reviewed, no press release accompanied it. It stands confirmed as product, which is 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. The first of them is a capsule published by the store 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. 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. Music artists are also named in that press release as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself.
