How product reaches buyers at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup
Stock arrives here in batches rather than seasonal collections. At a week-or-two clip new lines hit the brand’s own online store, and then move through its stores in Los Angeles and Houston. That store’s feed, read on 29 September 2026, holds publication dates that cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Coverage of the label oversized hoodie reports long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops. Nowhere is a drop calendar published. Quick clearance is the rule: 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. Read those as a snapshot only, because prices and stock shift constantly. Restocks are often promised in listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing; the brand has promised nothing of the kind. Since no restock policy is published, a sold-out size may never return.
Working through the dated collaboration record
In date order, what follows is every collaboration and activation the research documents, and nothing is 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 records when product went live, not when a deal was struck. Several entries are thin, and they stay thin. Where a piece list or a price was never published, none is made up here. The brand’s name points to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean; that is why the medical and horror imagery runs through these releases.
8 April 2023: the pop-up 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. 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 offers no piece list and no prices. Record it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry.
28 April 2023: That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, with BlueBucksClan
It was titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary and released on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. Three weeks later came a capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan. It honored the late Drakeo The Ruler, and every account of the drop leads with that. An outside publication documented it at the time, which makes it one of the few. The sourcing stretches 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
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. A March 2024 stretch opens here that was busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. Even read against the store feed, the blog 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
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 is the whole sourced description, from the brand’s own release. A footprint of that size is not a capsule; product was sold, but the thing was staged as an attraction. It also gives 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 Got Sole pop-up
Two days after the festival closed, the brand appeared at Got Sole in Los Angeles on 19 March 2024. What survives is a recap on the brand’s own blog, the label’s account of its own booth. The entry delivers a date, plus the fact that the brand works conventions. Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, so this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. Nothing documents a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. To inflate it further would be fabrication.
29 March 2024: the drop of the Dodger Collection
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. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. It is also the only documented headwear inside a named collection, which 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 describe the contents as the brand did.
April 2024: Trapstar, the London label
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. A Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued on a resale platform at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. That figure is reported rather than confirmed, because resale platforms hold secondhand records. No official piece list beyond the hoodie is documented. Of every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.
1 August 2025: Rhime shoes
Footwear came into the catalogue by way of Rhime USA, whose shoes were published to the store on 1 August 2025. The Rhime Shoes were listed at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026; prices change. Because most of its collaborations never get a permanent catalogue home, tracing them means reading dated posts. Outside the store listing, no launch coverage was found. The store’s own collaborations collection contains only this product. What the entry is: a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.
24 July 2026: the Stinc Team drop
Stinc Team is the most recent documented collaboration, published to the store on 24 July 2026. It runs to an ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. Nothing in the material reviewed shows a press release with it. Shorts from it were priced at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. That date is a store feed date, so what it marks is 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
Everything above sits on a dated source; 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. Neither of those has independent confirmation, and calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. The same press release also names music artists as past merch collaborators, an undated claim the brand makes about itself. On purpose, the table keeps the two columns apart.
