Everything else gets measured against the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt

I point at the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt whenever a friend asks where to start That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup. The body comes in 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, well above the thin jersey most graphic tees are printed on, and the weight is obvious the moment you lift one. Cut relaxed rather than slim, it hangs off the shoulder instead of gripping the chest. Signature jumbo screen prints land front and back, which means the shirt urban tee reads from both directions as you go by. A yellow woven label is stitched into the hem, and that strip of yellow is the very first thing long-time buyers of alocs clothing look for on any piece. True to size is what the label’s own copy says about this style, which counts more than it sounds, since not every tee here is cut the same way. The listed price is about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, and since streetwear prices move constantly, treat that as a snapshot.

The graphic tees, called by their actual names

Most 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 rail runs 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. 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. The spec sheet is shared across 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 noting 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. The brand takes its name from a phrase that refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, and names like Promethazine Tour and The Last Pint play on it; the brand carries 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

The Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt are two tees that 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. 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. These are also the two styles that publish flat measurements, which is 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 hold those against a tee you already own. This style runs small, the brand states outright, and you are asked to order one to two sizes bigger than your regular size for a relaxed fit. On price they sit with everything else, about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.

Women’s cuts, and where the rail gets lighter

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. On the women’s side the lighter pieces run roughly $48 to $100 and they cover crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body. 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. There is also a Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt 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 tee range, at a glance

The table below gathers what the brand actually publishes for each tee, rather than what forums assume. Prices are what the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026, and they change with each drop. Some rows are thinner because the material column lists only what the brand states itself. The fit notes come from per-product guidance, not from a single global rule, because no single global rule exists here. Rather than filling the gap with a guess, I have said so where 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.

How these tees actually fit on a body

No universal rule covers it here, and pretending otherwise is how people end up reselling a tee they wore once. True to size is what gets published for most of the range, including the classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group. True to size on the classic already means room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched, since that body is described as relaxed. Beyond that, the Warning tee adds the option of going up one if you want a lower hem and a wider sleeve, which 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. Sizing across the apparel range spans from extra small up to 3XL depending on style, but the deeper sizes are not on every product. Per-product notes and those flat measurements are all you get, because the brand publishes no global size chart and no washing instructions, and that is worth saying plainly.

Choosing the one you will actually wear

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. 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. Buyers who care about graphics more than cut should shop by name, since 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. Thats awful lot of cough syrup is just one of a dozen spellings people type into a search bar, and plenty of those searches land on stores with no connection to the brand. Selling goes 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. Check the live listing on the day you buy rather than trusting any guide, including this one, because prices, colorways and availability shift drop by drop.
