The body comes in 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, well above the lightweight jersey the bulk of graphic tees are printed on, and you feel it the moment you lift one. Because the body is relaxed rather than slim, the tee hangs off the shoulder instead of gripping the chest. The signature jumbo screen prints hit front and back, so the shirt reads from both directions when you pass somebody on the street. A yellow woven label closes the hem, and that strip of yellow is the first thing veteran buyers of <a href=\"https:\/\/awfullottacoughsyrup.com\/product-category\/shorts\/\">www.awfullottacoughsyrup.com\/product-category\/shorts<\/a> alocs clothing check on any piece. Not every tee here is cut the same way, which is why it matters more than it sounds that the brand&#8217;s own copy says this style fits true to size. The listed price is about $150 at the brand&#8217;s own store as of September 2026, and since streetwear prices move constantly, treat that as a snapshot.<\/p>\n<h2>The graphic tees, written out under their actual names<\/h2>\n<p>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. Then there are 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. The Warning T-Shirt is a 100% organic cotton short sleeve that also runs true to size, with the brand pointing out that you should consider sizing up for an oversized look. The Paralysis T-Shirt is described as handmade in Los Angeles, 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 &#8220;! PLEASE DO NOT SIP DRANK AND SHOOT FIREARMS !&#8221; and then goes back to selling clothes.<\/p>\n<h2>The lightweight, cropped cuts are a lane of their own<\/h2>\n<p>Two tees, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt, behave differently enough to deserve their own paragraph. Both come as a wide-fit, cropped tee in lightweight cotton jersey, the reverse of the heavy classic body in almost every respect. They come rinsed for a comfortable vintage feel, and the artwork goes on as 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. Compare those with a tee you already own, because 20 inches wide by 17.5 long is short by ordinary standards. For a relaxed fit the brand asks you to order one to two sizes bigger than your regular size, because it states outright that this style runs small. Price-wise they sit with everything else, about $150 at the brand&#8217;s own store as of September 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>The lighter end of the rail, where the women&#8217;s cuts sit<\/h2>\n<p>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. The women&#8217;s side runs roughly $48 to $100 for the lighter pieces, covering crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body. Tanks and crop tops are published as 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. A Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt also sits there 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 should open this part of the catalogue first, and expect these prices to shift with drops and sales.<\/p>\n<h2>The tee range, at a glance<\/h2>\n<p>The table below sets out what the brand actually publishes for each tee, not what forums assume. The prices here are what the brand&#8217;s own store showed as of September 2026, and they change with each drop. The material column carries only what the brand states itself, and that is why some rows are thinner. Because no single global rule exists here, the fit notes are per-product guidance rather than one blanket rule. 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.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Model<\/th>\n<th>Price tag<\/th>\n<th>Fabric stated by the brand<\/th>\n<th>Fit comment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt<\/td>\n<td>roughly $150 as listed<\/td>\n<td>6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, as published<\/td>\n<td>Relaxed fit, true to size<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Warning T-Shirt<\/td>\n<td>roughly $150<\/td>\n<td>100% organic cotton<\/td>\n<td>True to size; consider sizing up for oversized<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>King Of The Kill, Drankenstein, Juicebusters<\/td>\n<td>about $150 each<\/td>\n<td>100% cotton, jumbo screenprint hits<\/td>\n<td>Published as true to size<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wok Is Dead, Promethazine Tour<\/td>\n<td>about $150 apiece<\/td>\n<td>Lightweight cotton jersey, rinsed for a vintage feel<\/td>\n<td>Wide-fit cropped; runs small, go 1 to 2 sizes up<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Paralysis T-Shirt<\/td>\n<td>about $150 or so<\/td>\n<td>Handmade in Los Angeles, stencil-style print<\/td>\n<td>Relaxed, with a rough finish<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A.L.O.C.S.

The classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group are all published as true to size, as is the bulk of the rest of the range. The classic body is described as relaxed, so true to size already means 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. After those come the two lightweight cropped styles, running small and asking for one to two sizes up, which puts a classic medium at a large or extra large in Wok Is Dead. Right across the apparel range, sizes 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Picking the one you will really wear<\/h2>\n<p>Before spending on anything cut unusually, take the classic in your normal size as a first piece and learn how the 6.5 oz body wears. If you already own one 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. Shop by name if you care about graphics more than cut, since 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 work whatever you pick: the yellow woven label, the product name against the brand&#8217;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 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 runs through the brand&#8217;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. Because prices, colorways and availability shift drop by drop, check the live listing on the day you buy rather than trusting any guide, including this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anchor the rail with the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt, the piece everything else answers to Ask me where to begin with That&#8217;s A Awful Lot Of<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2768"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/midway.ae\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
