Begin with the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt, the one the rest of the rail answers to

People who ask me where to begin with That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup get sent to the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt. The body comes in 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, well above the thin jersey the bulk of graphic alocs hoodie tees get printed on, and one lift tells you so. The cut is relaxed rather than slim, so it hangs off the shoulder instead of gripping the chest. Front and back both carry the signature jumbo screen prints, so the tee reads from both sides when you walk past someone. At the hem you get a yellow woven label, and that strip of yellow is the first thing longtime buyers of alocs clothing look for on any piece. Because not every tee here is cut the same way, the line in the brand’s own copy about this style fitting true to size matters more than it sounds. About $150 is what it costs at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, and streetwear prices move constantly, so treat that figure as a snapshot.

The graphic tees, named by their actual names

The majority of the cough syrup shirts on offer sit at that same core price as graphic tees, and half the reason people collect them is the names. The names on the rail run to the A.L.O.C.S. T-Shirt, the Warning T-Shirt, King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters, along with Big Pharma, Cough Syrup Scream, Paralysis, Rib Cage, ALOCS Smoke and the Cough Syrup Scary Movie T-Shirt. Keep scrolling and Po Up, Rosary, Man Down, Death Row, Land Of the Sippers, The Last Pint, Love At First Sip, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt, the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt and the Dodger T-shirt appear. The same spec sheet covers King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters: 100% cotton, jumbo screenprint hits front and back, the yellow woven label, and a fit the brand calls true to size. The Warning T-Shirt is a 100% organic cotton short sleeve that also runs true to size, with the brand adding that you should consider sizing up for an oversized look. The Paralysis T-Shirt is described as handmade in Los Angeles, with a stencil-style treatment and a rough print on a relaxed body. The phrase the brand is built from, which refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, is what names like Promethazine Tour and The Last Pint play on; the brand runs its own banner reading “! PLEASE DO NOT SIP DRANK AND SHOOT FIREARMS !” and then goes back to selling clothes.

The lightweight, cropped cuts sit in their own lane

Their own paragraph is earned by two tees that behave differently enough to need it, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt. Lightweight cotton jersey in a wide-fit, cropped tee is the published description on both, the opposite of the heavy classic body in almost every respect. They are rinsed for a comfortable vintage feel, and the artwork is a water based screen print front and back rather than a thick plastic-feeling hit. Rare enough here to be worth using, flat measurements are published on these two styles as well: small is 20 inches by 17.5 inches, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5, taken as width by length. Hold those against a tee you already own, because 20 inches wide by 17.5 long is short by ordinary standards. The brand states outright that this style runs small and asks you to order one to two sizes bigger than your regular size for a relaxed fit. Price-wise they sit with everything else, about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.

The lighter end of the rail, and the women’s cuts

Not every piece with the logo on it costs what the flagship tee costs, and that surprises people who know the brand only from resale chatter. Crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body make up the lighter women’s pieces, and they run roughly $48 to $100. 100% combed cotton is what gets published for tanks and crop tops, a genuinely different fabric from the 6.5 oz organic cotton on the classic. A few tanks carry the Cough Syrup measuring line side print, a nod to a dosage line and one of the quieter graphics in the lineup. There is also a Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt at about $60, the cheapest route into the classic artwork. If you have been bouncing off the $150 figure while searching an awful lot of cough syrup shirt should open this part of the catalogue first, and expect these prices to shift with drops and sales.

The whole tee range at a glance

The table below gathers what the brand actually publishes for each tee, rather than what forums assume. These prices come from what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and they change with each drop. The material column lists only what the brand states itself, which is why some rows are thinner. No single global rule exists here, so the fit notes come from per-product guidance rather than from one global rule. Where the brand publishes nothing about the fabric, I have said so rather than filling the gap with a guess. Read it as a shortlist and then open the product page, because that is where the one useful fit sentence lives.

How these tees actually fit on a body

Pretending there is a single rule here is how people end up reselling a tee they wore once, and no single rule exists. Published as true to size are the classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group, and most of the range besides. Room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched is what true to size already means on the classic, because that body is described as relaxed. The Warning tee gives you the option of going up one if you want a lower hem and a wider sleeve, the look most people are after. Separate again are the two lightweight cropped styles, which run small and ask for one to two sizes up, meaning a medium in the classic might be a large or extra large in Wok Is Dead. Extra small up to 3XL is the published span across the apparel range depending on style, and the deeper sizes are not on every product. It is worth saying plainly that the brand publishes no global size chart and no washing instructions, so per-product notes and those flat measurements are all you get.

Picking the one that actually gets worn

For a first piece, buy the classic in your normal size and learn how the 6.5 oz body wears before spending on anything cut unusually. Already own one and want something different rather than something similar? The cropped lightweight tees give you another silhouette for the same money, provided you respect the sizing note. If graphics matter to you more than cut, shop by name, because Drankenstein, Rib Cage and Cough Syrup Scary Movie pull from the horror side while Big Pharma and Promethazine Tour lean on medical wordplay. The yellow woven label, the product name against the brand’s own catalogue and the price against real levels are all worth checking whatever you pick, because a $45 tee carrying this artwork is not coming from the label. People type the name into a search bar a dozen ways, Thats awful lot of cough syrup among them, and plenty of those searches land on stores with no connection to the brand. Selling runs through the brand’s own online store and its Los Angeles locations at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St, plus 5410 Almeda Rd in Houston, and roughly two in five size variants sit sold out at any moment. Prices, colorways and availability change drop by drop, which is why you should check the live listing on the day you buy rather than trusting any guide, including this one.
