ALOCS Crewneck Fit Guide Everyday Wear Notes
Every other piece answers to 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. The body on this one is 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, which is a clear step up from the thin jersey the bulk of graphic tees are printed on, and you feel the difference the second you pick one up. The silhouette is relaxed rather than slim, so it hangs off the shoulder instead of gripping the chest. Signature jumbo screen prints go front and back, which means the shirt reads from both sides as you walk past somebody. At the hem you get a yellow woven label, and that strip alocs hoodie of yellow is the first thing longtime buyers of alocs clothing go to on any piece. Not every tee here is cut the same way, which is why it matters more than it sounds that the brand’s own copy says this style fits true to size. 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, listed by their actual names
Most of the cough syrup shirts on the rail are graphic tees at that same core price, and the names are half the reason people collect them. Going down the catalogue you get 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. Carry on scrolling and you reach 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. 100% cotton, jumbo screenprint hits front and back, the yellow woven label, and a fit the brand calls true to size: that is the one spec sheet behind King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters. Also true to size is the Warning T-Shirt, a 100% organic cotton short sleeve, though the brand adds that you should consider sizing up for an oversized look. Handmade in Los Angeles is how the Paralysis T-Shirt is described, carrying a stencil-style treatment and a rough print on a relaxed body. Promethazine Tour and The Last Pint are names that play on the phrase the brand is built from, which refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean; 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 are a lane of their own
Two tees, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt, behave differently enough to warrant their own paragraph. A wide-fit, cropped tee in lightweight cotton jersey is how both are described, the opposite of the heavy classic body in almost every respect. Rinsed for a comfortable vintage feel, they take artwork that is a water based screen print front and back rather than a thick plastic-feeling hit. These two styles are also the ones that publish flat measurements, rare enough here to be worth using: small is 20 inches by 17.5 inches, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5, taken as width by length. 20 inches wide by 17.5 long is short by ordinary standards, so compare those with a tee you already own. Outright, 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 there is no difference, about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.
Women’s cuts, and where the rail gets lighter
Not everything with the logo on it costs what the flagship tee costs, which surprises people who know the brand only from resale chatter. Roughly $48 to $100 is the band on the women’s side for the lighter pieces, which covers crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body. 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. Certain tanks carry 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 searching an awful lot of cough syrup shirt and bouncing off the $150 figure, 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 collects what the brand actually publishes for each tee, not what forums assume. These figures are what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and each drop changes them. The material column lists only what the brand states itself, which is why some rows are thinner. The fit notes are drawn from per-product guidance, not from a single global rule, since no single global rule exists here. I have said so instead of filling the gap with a guess wherever the brand publishes nothing about the fabric. Use it as a shortlist, then read the product page, since that is where the one useful fit sentence lives.

The way 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. Most pieces here are published as true to size, including the classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group. Listed as relaxed, the classic body means true to size already leaves room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched. Going up one is an option the Warning tee adds if you want a lower hem and a wider sleeve, and that is the look most people are after. Next come the two lightweight cropped styles, which 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. Sizes across the apparel range go from extra small up to 3XL depending on style, though 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 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. Anyone who owns the classic who want something different rather than something similar will find another silhouette for the same money in the cropped lightweight tees, provided they 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. Three checks hold up whatever you pick: the yellow woven label, the product name against the brand’s own catalogue, and 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. Trust the live listing on the day you buy rather than any guide, this one included, since prices, colorways and availability shift drop by drop.
