Inside the drop pattern at That's A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup

Batches, rather than seasons, are the way merchandise arrives here. New releases land on the brand's own online store at a week-or-two clip, 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. Coverage of the label points to long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops. No drop calendar is published anywhere. Stock empties fast, and that day 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out, close to 43 percent.

The one ongoing mechanic is the mystery item: a mystery tee at about $75, mystery shorts at about $50, at alocs streetwear tee the brand's own store as of September 2026. Read those as a snapshot only, since prices and stock move constantly. A sold-out size may never return, since no restock policy is published. Listings for alocs clothing and cough syrup clothing frequently promise restocks, but the brand has promised nothing of the kind.

The collaboration record, and how it was built

What follows is every collaboration and activation the research documents, in date order, nothing added from resale chatter. The source is named in every entry: 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. 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. Several entries are thin and stay thin.

8 April 2023: the Cookies pop-up

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. Cookies hosted the drop as a pop-up at its store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Record it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry. Because an outside publication covered it at the time, it sits in the confirmed column. No piece list and no prices appear in that coverage.

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. The drop honored the late Drakeo The Ruler, and every account of it leads with that. This is one of the few releases an outside publication documented at the time. Date this one and stop, if you are cataloguing thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations. What the sourcing covers is the event and the intent, not the fabric.

11 March 2024: the 310babii collaboration

The brand's own blog announced a collaboration with 310babii on 11 March 2024. That post stands as the only source, so the date is solid while the substance stays thin. Reading the blog against the store feed does not settle which products belonged to it. Nothing fixes 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. 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 put up a carnival on site, with arcade games and a swing ride, and worked two onsite stores across the four days. The whole sourced description ends there, and it comes from the brand's own release. It also supplies a rare fixed date range for temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup banner. No attendance figure and no product list survive in the documentation. Something that size is not a capsule: it sold product, yet it was staged as an attraction.

19 March 2024: the pop-up at Got Sole

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. The entry gives 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. Anything more would be fabrication.

29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection release

The month closed with the Dodger Collection, published on the brand's blog on 29 March 2024. 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. It is likewise the only documented headwear inside a named collection, and that matters practically. Nothing in the post establishes whether any license sat behind the name. Since the store's hat collection returns no products as of September 2026, no cap from it can be bought new. Put the date at March 2024 and describe the contents as the brand did.

April 2024: Trapstar, the London label

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. Beyond the hoodie, no official piece list is documented. On a resale platform, a Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Because resale platforms hold secondhand records, that figure is reported rather than confirmed. Of every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.

1 August 2025: shoes from Rhime

Rhime USA brought footwear into the catalogue, its shoes 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. 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. What the entry is: a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.

24 July 2026: the Stinc Team drop

The most recent documented collaboration is Stinc Team, 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 in it sat at about $150 at the brand's own store as of September 2026. The date comes from the store feed, so it marks when product went live. It is confirmed as product, a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.

Confirmed, claimed, or merely circulating

All of the above rests on a dated source, while 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 the brand sells them, yet 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 of them is an LRG collaboration at ComplexCon, which the brand's own press release names once with no date attached. Independent confirmation is missing for both, so calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. On purpose, the table keeps the two columns apart. Music artists are also named in that press release as past merch collaborators, which is the brand's undated claim about itself.
