The way That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup releases product
Product arrives here in batches and not seasonal collections. The brand’s own online store gets new lines on a week-or-two cadence, and its shops in Los Angeles and Houston carry cough syrup shorts them after that. Checked on 29 September 2026, the publication dates in that store’s feed cluster hard: twelve products on 24 July 2026, eleven on 12 September, ten on 25 September. Quick sell-through is the rule: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent. Press coverage of the label records long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops. 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. Treat those as a snapshot, since prices and stock change 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.
Working through the dated collaboration record
Every collaboration and activation the research documents appears below, in date order, with nothing 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. A feed date marks the moment product went live, not the moment a deal was struck. Several entries are thin and stay thin. Where a piece list or a price was never published, nothing is made up here. 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
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. The drop ran as a pop-up at the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. It is a dated event to record, not a catalogue entry. It belongs in the confirmed column, because an outside publication covered it at the time. No piece list and no prices appear in that coverage.
28 April 2023: BlueBucksClan, and That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary
Titled That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, it was released on 28 April 2023 at the 7669 Melrose Avenue flagship. Three weeks later came a capsule with the Los Angeles duo BlueBucksClan. The late Drakeo The Ruler was honored by the drop, and every account of it leads with that. It is one of the few releases documented by an outside publication at the time. What the sourcing covers is the event and the intent, not the fabric. Anyone compiling a catalogue of thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations should date this one and stop.
11 March 2024: the collaboration with 310babii
With that post as the only source, the date is solid and the substance is thin. The brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog on 11 March 2024. Reading the blog against the store feed does not settle which products belonged to it. The piece count, the colorways and the prices are fixed by nothing. 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
Rolling Loud California is the largest documented activation, 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. Something that size is not a capsule: it sold product, yet it 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. Neither an attendance figure nor a product list is documented.
19 March 2024: the Got Sole pop-up
The record 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. The entry yields a date, plus the fact that the brand works conventions. Got Sole runs as a sneaker and streetwear convention, which makes this trade-show retail, not a partnership. Nothing documents a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. To inflate it further would be fabrication.
29 March 2024: the drop of the Dodger Collection
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. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. It is also the only documented headwear inside a named collection, which matters practically. As of September 2026 the store’s hat collection returns no products, so 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 out of London
The strongest evidence on this page belongs to Trapstar, because 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. A Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued on a resale platform at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. Resale platforms hold secondhand records, so that figure is reported rather than confirmed. No official piece list beyond the hoodie is documented. Among every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.
1 August 2025: shoes from Rhime
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. Inside the store’s own collaborations collection they are the only product. Because most of its collaborations never get a permanent catalogue home, tracing them means reading dated posts. Nothing beyond the store listing turned up as launch coverage. 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. Shorts in it sat 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. Nothing in the material reviewed shows a press release with it. It is confirmed as product, a narrower claim than confirmed as a campaign.
Confirmed, claimed, or merely circulating
A dated source carries everything above, and three further items lack one. 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. Real products, 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 of them is a Cartoon Network collaboration, appearing on resale listings and in a store collection name but with 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. Music artists are also named in that press release as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself. 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.
