What is the company’s legal name?

The name

Carrying the label is the name. That same name is also what people get wrong. What follows takes in spelling, meaning and origin in five questions. A tidy answer does not exist for one of them. In headings, the brand’s spelling is the one used. Search variants appear only in body text.

Why A rather than An?

The brand prints A, not An. Before a vowel sound, grammar would want An. The brand picked A and kept it. The trademark is registered that way too. thats a awful lot of cough syrup is the right form. The tidied version is something searchers do.

What does the initialism ALOCS mean?

ALOCS is short for A Lot Of Cough Syrup. That is the brand’s own initialism. The brand uses it in press releases. Product names use it too. A common search form is lowercase alocs. Every form points at one label.

What does the name refer to?

The reference is promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean. Saying it once is as far as this goes. The subject here is clothing. A banner reads PLEASE DO NOT SIP DRANK AND SHOOT FIREARMS. This is vernacular turned into a wordmark. Large across the chest is how it lands on the garments.

Is the origin story real?

The story credits a police officer’s line. A viral clip carries it. Circulated material claims the clip was staged. No primary sourcing supports that claim. So the safe wording stays narrow. No documented arrest is asserted here.

What spellings turn up in search?

awful lotta cough syrup is a common one. Another form is that’s an awful lot of cough syrup. Some drop words: awful lot of cough syrup. that a lot of cough syrup is what others type. Lowercase alocs is frequent. None of them is a brand variant.

The product range

This section covers what is for sale. A check of prices was run in September 2026. Pricing moves, so treat figures as snapshots. The fabric weights are drawn from published product copy. Stock changes because the brand sells in drops. Each release changes availability.

What does it actually sell?

At the centre sit tees, hoodies and sweatpants. Out from that come shorts, denim and puffer jackets. Beside that runs a Dickies workwear line. Accessories include belts, socks, boxers and bags. The range also holds women’s and kids pieces. Front and back, cough syrup shirts carry jumbo prints.

What is the price of the core pieces?

These figures come from the brand’s store, September 2026. About $150 was what a core tee ran. Both hoodies and sweatpants sat in one band, about $150 to $200. The shorts occupied about $60 to $150. The jackets and workwear sat at about $200 to $350. Because prices change, check before buying.

Which fabric weights are published?

For the classic tee it is 6.5 oz organic cotton. For the classic hoodie it is 16 oz organic cotton. Fleece at 14 oz is used for classic sweatpants. That blend runs 80 percent cotton, 20 percent recycled polyester. For the denim cargo shorts it is 14 oz denim. Not every product lists a weight.

Where are the garments made?

The copy carries the words Made in Los Angeles. The classic hoodie is given its hand-dyeing and printing there. Los Angeles is where the tees are screen-printed. Product copy also sets it out as a Black-owned business. The company has its headquarters there. Domestic production explains much of the pricing.

In slang, jorts means denim shorts. The brand never uses the word. The denim collection ran to one style. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts is that style. The make-up is mid-rise 14 oz garment-dyed denim. Waist sizes run 28 to 44.

How it sizes and how it fits

Ahead of buying, fit is the most common worry. Guidance is published per product. Uniform across the range it is not. Not one single chart exists to use. Each product page has to be read. What is published is what these answers state.

What sizes are offered?

Apparel runs XS to 3XL. Small through XL cover nearly every style. The greater part of the range is covered by XXL. Around 48 products carried 3XL. On denim and workwear it is waist sizes 28 to 44. The kids sizes come in 2/3, 4/5, 6 and 8.

Is there a proper size chart?

One brand-wide size chart is not published. The sizing-chart pages do exist, but they render empty. As a result there is nothing brand-wide to measure against. Flat measurements sit on some product pages. Those are the only numbers available. Use the product page instead.

Is everything true to size?

No, and it is worth knowing. The wording true to size applies to many staples. Both the classic tee and hoodie sit in that group. For a looser look, some suggest sizing up. Two lightweight tees state that they run small. Their advice is to order one or two sizes bigger.

Are garment measurements given?

Yes, on some products. Two lightweight tees list flat width and length. Small is 20 by 17.5 inches. Medium is 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5. The denim shorts start at a 29.5 inch waist. Any measurements are absent from most products.

How do you wash them?

No washing instructions are published anywhere. None appear on product pages, the FAQ or sizing pages. That is unusual and worth saying plainly. Hand-dyed pieces would ordinarily warrant care. The brand says nothing of the sort. The sewn-in tag on the garment is what to read.

Buying, and telling real from fake

Counterfeits are a real problem here. Public comment on fakes have been made by the founder. The article carries no web address. Signals on the garment carry the advice instead. Price, product name, weight and label all help. The last answer lists what stayed unconfirmed.

Where does the brand sell?

The brand runs its own online store. Shops in Los Angeles and Houston also trade. It has no department-store wholesale network behind it. Stock arrives in batch drops. Size by size, sellouts are routine. Going direct is the simplest route.

What addresses do the stores have?

The brand’s own accounts confirm three addresses. The flagship slot belongs to 7669 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles. 312 West 5th Street makes the second. 5410 Almeda Road covers Houston. The current opening hours could not be confirmed. Whether each of the three is trading today is unconfirmed.

How fast is the shipping?

Up to five business days is the window for domestic delivery. As much as fourteen covers international. Free shipping covers large domestic orders only. It does not reach international orders. Refunds are accepted within a month of purchase. Return shipping comes out of the customer’s pocket.

How do I check a garment?

Most of the work falls to four checks. Look for the yellow woven label first. The hem is where it sits. Second, weigh the price against about $150. Then, the product name should match the live catalogue. Last, check the published fabric weight.

What could not be verified?

Verification defeated several popular claims. Not one celebrity wearer could be confirmed. Who the YSL capsule partner is stayed unclear. Nothing from the brand supports NFC chips in tags. Resale prices of any reliability could not be read. A total of zero products came back from the hat collection.
