The rest of the rail gets measured against the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt
The first thing I offer when a friend asks where to begin with That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup is the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt. It is cut from 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, noticeably heavier than the lightweight jersey the bulk of graphic tees are that awful lot of cough syrup printed on, and you feel that the second you lift one off the rack. The body is relaxed rather than slim, so it falls away from the shoulder instead of hugging the chest. The signature jumbo screen prints sit front and back, so the tee reads from both sides when you pass somebody on the street. The first thing seasoned buyers of alocs clothing hunt down on any piece is the yellow woven label at the hem, that strip of yellow. True to size is what the brand’s own product copy says about this style, which weighs more than it sounds, since not every tee here is cut the same way. It is listed at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, and streetwear prices move constantly, so treat that as a snapshot.
The graphic tees, called by their actual names
The names are half the reason people collect them, and most of the cough syrup shirts on offer are graphic tees at that same core price. The list holds the A.L.O.C.S. T-Shirt, the Warning T-Shirt, King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters, plus 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 turn up. A single 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. A 100% organic cotton short sleeve, the Warning T-Shirt also runs true to size, and the brand adds that you should consider sizing up for an oversized look. Described as handmade in Los Angeles, the Paralysis T-Shirt gets 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 titles 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 hold their own lane
Two tees, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt, behave differently enough to deserve their own paragraph. Both are described as a wide-fit, cropped tee in lightweight cotton jersey, the opposite of the heavy classic body in almost every respect. Rinsed for a comfortable vintage feel, they carry artwork that is a water based screen print front and back rather than a thick plastic-feeling hit. Rare enough here to be worth using, the published flat measurements on these two run small at 20 inches by 17.5 inches, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5, taken as width by length. Because 20 inches wide by 17.5 long is short by ordinary standards, hold those against a tee you already own. In plain terms, the brand states 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
People who know the brand only from resale chatter are surprised that not everything with the logo on it costs what the flagship tee costs. 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. The stated spec on tanks and crop tops is 100% combed cotton, a genuinely different fabric from the 6.5 oz organic cotton on the classic. A handful of tanks are printed with the Cough Syrup measuring line side print, a nod to a dosage line and one of the quieter graphics in the lineup. The Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt sits 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.
Every tee at a glance
The table below gathers what the brand actually publishes for each tee, rather than what forums assume. These figures are what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and each drop changes them. Only what the brand states itself goes in the material column, 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. Wherever the brand publishes nothing about the fabric, I have said so rather than filling the gap with a guess. Use it as a shortlist and then go to the product page, since the one useful fit sentence lives there.

How these tees actually fit on a body
A single rule does not cover this range, and pretending otherwise is how people end up reselling a tee they wore once. The majority of pieces here are published as true to size, among them the classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group. Described as relaxed, the classic body means true to size already leaves room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched. The Warning tee leaves you the option of going up one if you want a lower hem and a wider sleeve, the look most people are after. The two lightweight cropped styles come next, and they run small and ask for one to two sizes up, so 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. Said plainly, 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 you will really wear
A first piece should be the classic in your normal size, so you learn how the 6.5 oz body wears before spending on anything cut unusually. The cropped lightweight tees give you another silhouette for the same money if you own one already and want something different rather than something similar, provided you respect the sizing note. Anyone who cares about graphics more than cut should shop by name: Drankenstein, Rib Cage and Cough Syrup Scary Movie pull from the horror side while Big Pharma and Promethazine Tour lean on medical wordplay. Check the yellow woven label whatever you pick, check the product name against the brand’s own catalogue, and check the price against real levels, because a $45 tee carrying this artwork is not coming from the label. Plenty of searches land on stores with no connection to the brand, and Thats awful lot of cough syrup is one of a dozen ways people type the name into a search bar. 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.
