Inside the release routine at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup

Batch releases, and not seasonal ranges, are the way merchandise arrives here. The brand’s own online store gets new lines on a week-or-two cadence, and its shops in Los Angeles and Houston move them after that. Posting dates in that store’s feed, read on 29 September 2026, cluster hard: twelve products on 24 https://awfullottacoughsyrup.com/product-category/t-shirts/ July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Stock empties fast, and that day 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out, close to 43 percent. Long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops show up in outside coverage of the label. A drop calendar is published nowhere.

Mystery product is the one permanent 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. No restock policy is published, so a sold-out size may never return.

How to read the collaboration record

In date order, what follows is every collaboration and activation the research documents, and nothing is added from resale chatter. The source is named in each entry: 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. Several entries are thin and stay 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 pop-up staged with Cookies

Titled That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies, it launched on 8 April 2023. Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner, holds the earliest dated collaboration here. It ran as a pop-up inside 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 carries no piece list and no prices. File it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry.

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

A capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan came three weeks later. It carried the title That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary and was released on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. The late Drakeo The Ruler was honored by the drop, and every account of it leads with that. This is one of the few releases an outside publication documented at the time. 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 collaboration

A collaboration with 310babii was announced by the brand on its own blog on 11 March 2024. That post stands as the only source, so the date is solid while the substance stays thin. A March 2024 stretch opens here that was 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. Nothing settles the piece count, the colorways or the prices. The honest entry is a name and a date.

14 to 17 March 2024: Rolling Loud California

Rolling Loud California is the largest documented activation, 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. That, from the brand’s own release, is the whole sourced description. A footprint of that size is not a capsule; product was sold, but the thing was staged as an attraction. It also hands over 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 turned up at Got Sole in Los Angeles on 19 March 2024. The record comes down to 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. Since Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. A collaborative product exclusive to that weekend is documented nowhere. 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. The Dodger Collection closed March out, published on the brand’s blog on 29 March 2024. No other named collection has documented headwear, which matters practically. As of September 2026 the store’s hat collection returns no products, so no cap from it can be bought new. The post does not establish whether any license sat behind the name. Put the date at March 2024 and describe the contents as the brand did.

April 2024: Trapstar London

Trapstar holds the strongest evidence here: the London label published the collaboration from its own verified accounts in April 2024. Evidence from a partner outweighs a reseller’s caption and removes the question of who authorized what. 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

Footwear came into the catalogue by way of 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. Nothing beyond the store listing turned up as launch coverage. 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. The entry is a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.

24 July 2026: the capsule with Stinc Team

The latest documented collaboration remains Stinc Team, published to the store on 24 July 2026. It takes in an ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. Shorts from it were priced at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. Because the date comes from the store feed, it marks when product went live. Nothing in the material reviewed shows a press release with it. 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 rests on a dated source, and 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. 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. Independent confirmation is missing for both, so calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. That press release also names music artists as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself. The table keeps the two columns apart on purpose.
