Cough Syrup Shorts Authenticity Tips Cost and Value

A look at what sits on the racks at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup

The hype around it suggests something wider than the catalogue really is. About 154 products are listed on the label’s own store, and roughly 43% of size variants sold out at any one time. All of this is drawn from the brand’s published product copy as it was written in September 2026, because ALOCS clothing gets copied a lot and fakes seldom match the specs. The label began in Los Angeles in 2018, under Desto Dubb selling out of Lottacoughsyrup a van in a downtown parking lot. Production stayed local: the copy still says pieces are hand-dyed and screen-printed there. Prices below reflect the levels published as of September 2026, and streetwear prices move, so check before you commit.

The price tiers, laid out

Across most of cough syrup clothing, four price levels do the work. At the brand’s own store as of September 2026, a tee runs about $150, a hoodie about $200, sweatpants about $200 and most shorts about $150. Below that band, socks, boxers and tanks make up a small-goods band of about $25 to $70. Above it sit workwear and outerwear, from about $200 up to about $350 for the heaviest Dickies jacket. Across the store, nothing is priced below $25 or above $350. The mystery-item line is the most reliable half-price route in, since markdowns are selective.

The T-shirts

Most people start with cough syrup shirts, which are the backbone of the line. About $150 is the core price, with women’s cuts and lighter tanks landing between roughly $48 and $100. Read everything else against the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt: 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, relaxed fit, jumbo screen prints front and back, yellow woven label at the hem. King Of The Kill, Drankenstein, Big Pharma and Rib Cage are among the graphics in rotation, most sitting at the same level. Fit notes are published per garment: the Warning tee is true to size with a note to size up for an oversized look. The brand says to order one or two sizes bigger for the Wok Is Dead and Promethazine Tour tees, since they are lightweight and cropped.

Hoodies and zip-ups

About $150 to $200 is the hoodie range, and the $200 level carrying nearly every men’s style. Everything gets read against the Classic Cough Syrup Hoodie: 16 oz 100% organic cotton, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, logos at chest and back. At the wearer’s bottom left rather than the hem sits the yellow woven label, and that is worth remembering when you inspect one. Around the classic sit the ALOCS Classic, Athletic Dept., Cupid Tattoo, Glocc Zip Up and Blurred Lines hoodies, all near $200. The Zip-Up Classic Hoodie comes in nearer $150, and the women’s crop versions sit lower again. No other hoodie carries a published fit note; only the classic does, and it reads true to size.

Sweats

Like hoodies, sweatpants sit about $200, with a flare cut listed nearer $150. 14 oz fleece, specifically 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester, is what the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants are built from, with the logo screen printed across the front and up the back legs. Closer to a gym-floor sweat than thin mall joggers is where that weight sits. Alongside the classic sit Classic Flare Sweatpants, ALOCS Athletic Dept. Sweatpants and Blurred Lines Sweatpants. A listing reads “Flare Classic Sweapants”, the brand’s own typo, which tells you how fast this catalogue turns over. The classic pair is listed as true to size.

The shorts

About $60 to $150 is where ALOCS shorts land, which makes them the cheapest route into the main line. At $150 you find most men’s styles, including the Glocc, Mexico Glocc and USA Glocc shorts, the Awful Lot Of Stincs pair and the Classic Sweat Shorts. The women’s booty shorts sit near $60 and the Awful Lot Of Respect Cuhh Shorts near $100. The material is not published on most of them, so you judge the graphic, the cut and the price rather than a stated weight. The women’s booty shorts are listed as true to size, and the rest carry no fit note. Printed shorts go by the apparel size run rather than a waist measurement.

The denim corner

Denim ends up the slimmest category in the store. One product, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, makes up the collection, at about $150 after previously showing $300. They are mid-rise 14 oz denim, garment-dyed with a double dye process meant to mimic sun-fading, with double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, a button fly and a custom leather patch. The colours run grey, black and green, purple and red, in waist sizes 28 to 44. The copy publishes true to size, with a note to size up one for an oversized cut. That word appears nowhere in the brand’s catalogue even though shoppers call denim shorts jorts, and the only other denim is the ALOCS Denim Jacket and Carpenter Pants at about $300 each.

Jackets and workwear

The expensive end of the rack lives here, at about $200 to $350. At the centre of it is a Dickies programme: the Cough Syrup Dickies Jacket at about $350 is fully lined, with two welt pockets and a pencil pocket on the sleeve, in 65% cotton and 35% polyester. The Dickies 1574 work shirt in the same blend is what the Cough Syrup Dickies Button Down at about $200 uses, published true to size. A quarter zip shirt and loose fit Dickies pants each run about $250. Beyond that programme, outerwear means the ALOCS Puffer Jacket at about $250 and a cropped puffer at about $200. Waist, 28 to 44, is how these pieces size, not the usual apparel run.

Accessories

Accessories reach from about $25 to $250, which is a wider spread than anything else here. The ALOCS Belt, the I Love Cough Syrup Belt and the Awful Lot Of Sex Belt top the range at about $250 each. Under that come the ALOCS Wallet Chain at about $125, two bags and a ski mask at about $100 each. At the cheap end come small goods: socks at about $50, a two-pack of boxers at about $60 and a bandana at about $25. Nothing else here carries a published fabric; the boxers do, a 95% cotton and 5% elastane blend, made in Los Angeles. Rather than a spec sheet, graphic and hardware are what moves the rest.

Women’s plus kids

Women’s runs about $48 to $160 across crop tops, tank dresses, bodysuits, yoga pants and a bikini at about $80. The cropped zip-up hoodie comes in near $100, with the Rich Girls Crop Hoodie near $160, the cheapest route into the silhouette. 100% combed cotton is what the copy gives for tanks and crop tops, and some carry the measuring line side print down the seam. The kids list is short: a classic tee at about $60 and sweatpants at about $100, in sizes 2/3, 4/5, 6 and 8. Barely any footwear exists here, just the Rhime Shoes at about $100, the only item in the collabs collection. Because nothing here carries a published fit note, buy your usual size.

What That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup is not stocking right now

The gap that surprises people most is headwear. Nobody should be told that hats are currently on sale: the store’s hat collection returned zero products when it was checked in September 2026. Hats have existed before, and the category can return: the brand’s blog describes a Dodger Collection from March 2024 with a fitted and a dad hat, and the trademark covers headwear. One collaboration shoe does the work of a department, which makes footwear almost as thin. There is also no global size chart and no washing instructions on the store, which is why fit has to be read garment by garment. Because about 43% of size variants were sold out at the time of checking, an unavailable listing usually means a missing size rather than a dead style, and the awful lot of cough syrup drop calendar refills the racks every week or two.
