That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup and the way it puts out product
Product lands here in batches rather than seasonal collections. New releases land on the brand’s own online store every week or two, then sell through its stores in Los Angeles and Houston. Read on 29 September 2026, the posting dates in that store’s feed cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on ALOCS brand 12 September, ten on 25 September. Stock clears fast: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent. Long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops feature in coverage of the label. Nowhere is a drop calendar published.
Just one mechanic runs year-round, 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 move constantly. Because no restock policy is published, 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 it was built
In date order, what follows is every collaboration and activation the research documents, and nothing is added from resale chatter. Every entry states 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 marks the moment product went live, not the moment a deal was struck. Where a piece list or a price was never published, nothing 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. Several entries are thin and stay thin.
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, holds 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. Record it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry. That coverage carries no piece list and no prices.
28 April 2023: BlueBucksClan, and That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary
Three weeks later came a capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan. The release, titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, came on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. 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. 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 310babii announcement
On 11 March 2024 the brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog. That post stands as the only source, so the date is solid while the substance stays thin. Nothing settles the piece count, the colorways or the prices. It opens a March 2024 stretch that was busy even by this label’s standards, four activations in nineteen days. Reading the blog against the store feed does not settle which products belonged to it. The honest entry is a name and a date.
14 to 17 March 2024: Rolling Loud California
The biggest activation on the record is Rolling Loud California, staged from 14 to 17 March 2024 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. A carnival was built on site, arcade games and a swing ride included, and two onsite stores ran across the four days. The whole sourced description stops there, and it comes from the brand’s own release. 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. A rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner also comes from it.
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. Since Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. No documentation shows a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. 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 Dodger Collection closed March out, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. 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. No other named collection has documented headwear, which matters practically. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. 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 out of London
Nothing here is better evidenced than Trapstar, since 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. A resale platform lists a Trapstar collaboration hoodie at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Beyond the hoodie, no official piece list 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: the 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. They are the only product inside the store’s own collaborations collection. Most of its collaborations never get a permanent catalogue home, so tracing them means reading dated posts. No launch coverage outside the store listing was found. 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. The date comes from the store feed, so it marks 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.
What is confirmed, what is claimed, and what just circulates
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. 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. The 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.
