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

Here product arrives in batches rather than seasonal collections. The brand’s own online store receives fresh lines every week or two, and its stores in Los Angeles and Houston carry them after that. 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 September. Stock clears fast: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent. Press coverage of the label dwells on long lines buy alocs collection at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops. Nowhere is a drop calendar published.

Mystery items are 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. Treat those as a snapshot, since prices and stock change constantly. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing often promise restocks; the brand has promised nothing of the kind. Because no restock policy is published, a sold-out size may never return.

Reading the documented collaboration record

In date order, here 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. All a feed date records is when product went live, not when 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; that is why the medical and horror imagery appears in these releases. Several entries are thin and stay thin.

8 April 2023: the pop-up staged with Cookies

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. It is a dated event to record, not a catalogue entry. An outside publication covered it at the time, which puts it in the confirmed column. That coverage carries no piece list and no prices.

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

Three weeks on, the label put out a capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan. It carried the title That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary and was released 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. What the sourcing covers is the event and the intent, not the fabric. It is one of the few releases documented by an outside publication at the time. Date this one and stop, if you are cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations.

11 March 2024: the 310babii announcement

The brand’s own blog announced a collaboration with 310babii on 11 March 2024. That post is the only source, which makes the date solid and the substance thin. Nothing establishes 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. Even read against the store feed, the blog does not settle which products belonged to it. A name and a date make up the honest entry.

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. 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. No attendance figure and no product list survive in the documentation. A footprint of that size is not a capsule; product was sold, but the thing 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 pop-up at Got Sole

On 19 March 2024 the brand appeared at Got Sole in Los Angeles, two days after the festival closed. What survives is a recap on the brand’s own blog, the label’s account of its own booth. Nothing documents a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. 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. Anything more would be fabrication.

29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection

The post sets out 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. Nothing in the post establishes whether any license sat behind the name. It is likewise the only documented headwear inside a named collection, and that matters practically. The store’s hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, 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 out of 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. A resale platform lists a Trapstar collaboration hoodie at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Because resale platforms hold secondhand records, that figure is reported rather than confirmed. No official piece list beyond the hoodie is documented. Of every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.

1 August 2025: the Rhime shoes

Footwear entered the catalogue through 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. No launch coverage outside the store listing was found. Inside the store’s own collaborations collection they are the only product. Tracing most of its collaborations means reading dated posts, because they never get a permanent catalogue home. The entry reads as a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.

24 July 2026: the Stinc Team capsule

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. As of September 2026 shorts in it sat at about $150 at the brand’s own store. That date is a store feed date, so what it marks is 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 only claimed and what merely circulates

A dated source carries 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 the brand sells them, yet 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. Neither of those has independent confirmation, and 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.
