That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup and the way it issues product

Stock lands here in batches instead of seasonal ranges. Every week or two new lines land on the brand’s own online store, and 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 show up in outside coverage of skate shorts the label. No drop calendar appears anywhere. Quick sell-through is the rule: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent.

Mystery pieces are the one standing mechanic: 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. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing frequently promise restocks, but the brand has promised nothing of the kind. No restock policy is published, so a sold-out size may never return.

Reading the documented collaboration record

Below is every collaboration and activation the research documents, in date order, nothing added from resale chatter. Each 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 logs the moment product went live, not the moment 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 appears in these releases.

8 April 2023: the Cookies pop-up

Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner, takes the earliest dated collaboration here. The launch came on 8 April 2023 under the name That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies. Cookies hosted the drop as a pop-up at its store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Coverage from an outside publication at the time is what puts it in the confirmed column. That coverage carries no piece list and no prices. Log it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry.

28 April 2023: That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, with BlueBucksClan

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 arrived three weeks later. 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. Date this one and stop, if you are cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations. The sourcing covers the event and the intent, not the fabric.

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. Reading the blog against the store feed does not settle which products belonged to it. Nothing settles the piece count, the colorways or the prices. 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

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. It also hands over a rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner. Neither an attendance figure nor a product list is documented. 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. A collaborative product exclusive to that weekend is documented nowhere. What the entry gives is a date and the fact that the brand works conventions. Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, so this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. Inflating it further would be fabrication.

29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection release

The post lists a hoodie, a tee, a fitted cap and a dad hat, and kids tees, the clearest piece list in this record. March closed with the Dodger Collection, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. No other named collection has documented headwear, which matters practically. The store’s hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, so no cap from it can be bought new. Nothing in the post establishes whether any license sat behind the name. Date it to March 2024 and describe the contents as 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. The strongest evidence here belongs to Trapstar: the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. A resale platform catalogues a Trapstar collaboration hoodie at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Nothing documents an official piece list beyond the hoodie. Because resale platforms hold secondhand records, 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. As of September 2026 The Rhime Shoes sat at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store; prices change. No launch coverage outside the store listing was found. The store’s own collaborations collection holds only this product. Tracing most of its collaborations means reading dated posts, because they never get a permanent catalogue home. The entry counts as a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.

24 July 2026: the Stinc Team drop

It runs to an ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. Stinc Team is the most recent documented collaboration, published to the store on 24 July 2026. In the material reviewed, no press release accompanied 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 stands confirmed as product, which is a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.

What is confirmed, what is claimed, and what just circulates

Everything above sits on a dated source; three further items do not. 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. 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. The 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 two columns are kept apart in the table on purpose. That press release also names music artists as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself.
