How That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup rolls out product

At this label product arrives in batches rather than a seasonal calendar. The brand’s own online store gets fresh lines on a week-or-two cadence, and its shops in Los Angeles and Houston move thats a whole lot of cough syrup them afterwards. The 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. A drop calendar is published nowhere. Fast sell-through is the rule: 619 of 1,443 size variants were sold out that day, close to 43 percent. Long lines at the Melrose Avenue store and limited-edition drops show up in coverage of the label.

Mystery product is the one ongoing mechanic: a mystery tee at about $75, mystery shorts at about $50, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026. Those numbers are a snapshot, 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.

The collaboration record, and how to read it

In date order, here is every collaboration and activation the research documents, and nothing is added from resale chatter. Each entry names its source: 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. A number of entries are thin, and they stay thin. 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, which explains the medical and horror imagery in these releases.

8 April 2023: the pop-up with Cookies

Titled That’s A Awful Lot Of Cookies, it launched on 8 April 2023. Cookies, the brand co-founded by Berner, takes the earliest dated collaboration here. The pop-up was hosted at the Cookies store at 8360 Melrose Avenue. Because an outside publication covered it at the time, it belongs in the confirmed column. That coverage carries no piece list and no prices. Record it as a dated event, not a catalogue entry.

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. It honored the late Drakeo The Ruler, and every account of the drop leads with that. An outside publication documented it at the time, which makes it one of the few. Event and intent are covered by the sourcing; fabric is not. Anyone compiling a catalogue of thats a awful lot of cough syrup collaborations should date this one and stop.

11 March 2024: the 310babii collaboration

The brand announced a collaboration with 310babii on its own blog on 11 March 2024. With that post as the only source, the date is solid and the substance is thin. Even read against the store feed, the blog does not settle which products belonged to it. The piece count, the colorways and the prices are fixed by nothing. It kicks off a March 2024 stretch 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

Rolling Loud California is the largest documented activation, 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. That is the whole sourced description, from the brand’s own release. 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. 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

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. Got Sole is a sneaker and streetwear convention, so this is trade-show retail, not a partnership. No documentation shows a collaborative product exclusive to that weekend. What the entry gives is a date and the fact that the brand works conventions. To inflate it further would be fabrication.

29 March 2024: the Dodger Collection

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. It is likewise the only documented headwear inside a named collection, and that matters practically. Whether any license sat behind the name is not established by the post. As of September 2026 the store’s hat collection returns no products, so no cap from it can be bought new. Date it to March 2024 and describe the contents as the brand did.

April 2024: Trapstar out of London

Evidence from a partner outweighs a reseller’s caption and removes 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 Trapstar collaboration hoodie is catalogued on a resale platform at about $150 retail under a spring 2025 season code. That figure is reported rather than confirmed, since resale platforms hold secondhand records. Nothing documents an official piece list beyond the hoodie. Among every entry here, this is the one to lean on hardest.

1 August 2025: Rhime shoes

The Rhime Shoes were listed at about $100, down from about $200, at the brand’s own store as of September 2026; prices change. Rhime USA carried footwear into the catalogue, its shoes published to the store on 1 August 2025. 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 is a product record with a publication date, not an announced event.

24 July 2026: the Stinc Team capsule

It takes in an ALOCS x Stinc Team Dragon tee and shorts, plus a wider Awful Lot Of Stincs capsule. The most recent documented collaboration is Stinc Team, published to the store on 24 July 2026. 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. No press release accompanied it in the material reviewed. Confirmed as product is the claim here, and it is narrower than confirmed as a campaign.

What is confirmed, what is only claimed and what merely 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. 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. 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. Third is an LRG collaboration at ComplexCon, named once in the brand’s own press release with no date attached. Both of those lack independent confirmation, and calling either a licensed collaboration would be a guess dressed as a fact. Music artists are also named in that press release as past merch collaborators, which is the brand’s undated claim about itself. The table keeps the two columns apart on purpose.
