The Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt is the single shirt the rest of the rail answers to
Ask me where to begin with That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup and the answer is the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt, every time. 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton makes up the body, heavier than the thin jersey most graphic tees get printed on, and you notice that the second you pick one up. Front and back both carry the signature jumbo screen prints, so the tee reads from both directions when you walk past somebody. Cut relaxed rather than slim, it hangs off the shoulder instead of gripping the chest. The first thing long-time buyers of alocs clothing hunt down on any piece is the yellow woven label stitched at the hem, that strip of yellow. Not every tee mens graphic tee here is cut the same way, which is why it matters more than it sounds that the label’s own copy says this style fits true to size. The listed price is about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, and because streetwear prices move constantly, treat that as a snapshot.
The graphic tees, written out under their actual names
Most of the cough syrup shirts on offer are graphic tees at that same core price, and the names are half the reason people collect them. Working down the catalogue you find the A.L.O.C.S. T-Shirt, the Warning T-Shirt, King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters, together with Big Pharma, Cough Syrup Scream, Paralysis, Rib Cage, ALOCS Smoke and the Cough Syrup Scary Movie T-Shirt. Keep going and you run into 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 covering King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters. 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. The Paralysis T-Shirt is described as handmade in Los Angeles, with a stencil-style treatment and a rough print on a relaxed body. Promethazine Tour and The Last Pint are titles 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 gets back to selling clothes.
Their own lane for the lightweight, cropped cuts
Two tees, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt, behave differently enough to deserve their own paragraph. 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. A rinse gives them a comfortable vintage feel, and the artwork comes as a water based screen print front and back rather than a thick plastic-feeling hit. Flat measurements are published on these two styles as well, 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. 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.
Women’s cuts and the less heavyweight end of the rail
What the flagship tee costs is not what everything with the logo on it costs, which comes as a surprise to people who know the brand only from resale chatter. The women’s side runs roughly $48 to $100 for the lighter pieces, covering crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body. What the brand publishes for tanks and crop tops is 100% combed cotton, a genuinely different fabric from the 6.5 oz organic cotton on the classic. The Cough Syrup measuring line side print appears on some tanks, a nod to a dosage line and one of the quieter graphics in the lineup. A Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt also sits there 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 tee range at a glance
The table below pulls together what the brand actually publishes for each tee, not what forums assume. The prices here 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 are taken 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 and then go to the product page, since the one useful fit sentence lives there.

The way these tees actually fit on a body
There is no one rule here, and pretending otherwise is how people end up reselling a tee they wore once. 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. Because the classic body is described as relaxed, true to size already means room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched. 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. Then 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. The brand publishes no global size chart and no washing instructions, which is worth saying plainly, so per-product notes and those flat measurements are all you get.
Choosing the one that will actually get worn
Buy the classic in your normal size for a first piece and learn how the 6.5 oz body wears before you spend on anything cut unusually. If you own one already 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. 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. Thats awful lot of cough syrup is only 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. The brand sells through its 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. Drop by drop, prices, colorways and availability shift, so check the live listing on the day you buy rather than trusting any guide, this one included.
