One rule never covers this catalogue

The same shape fits nearly every fit question here: what size should I order? Because That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup sets out its fit guidance product by product, not once for the range, everything depends on the style. True to size is the line the majority of pieces are published with. The label instructs you to order one or two sizes whole lotta syrup bigger on two of the tees, which run small. Another two fit true to size but invite you to size up for the oversized look. Returns happen when a single rule is applied anyway, because those instructions cannot be folded into one.

The missing size chart, and what that means for you

No global size chart exists, and the brand publishes none. The brand’s own sizing pages, a general sizing chart and a separate t-shirt size chart, render without any chart content as of September 2026. This is not a temporary outage; it is the state of the site. That leaves the product description as your only authoritative source on fit, and it deserves a full read. On a resale listing, a blog or a lookalike store, every measurement table for alocs clothing is somebody else’s reconstruction, not a published figure. Guesswork is what those charts are, so read them accordingly.

The size range you are picking from

What is actually on offer comes first. With small through extra-large on nearly every style, apparel runs XS to 3XL. 3XL appears on 48 products, so the top end is narrower than it looks and a 3XL buyer shops a subset of the catalogue. Away from that ladder sit denim and workwear, sized by waist from 28 through 44. Kids sizes run 2/3, 4/5, 6 and 8. Every instruction quoted below comes from the brand’s own copy, and the sections are arranged by situation.

When a style runs true to size

Listed as fitting true to size: the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt, Hoodie and Sweatpants, the Dickies Button Down, the Dodger T-shirt, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, the Women’s Booty Shorts, and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters tees. The simplest case is also the default across most of the catalogue. Whatever size you normally wear is the one to order on every one of these. The classic tees carry a relaxed-fit description, so true to size already means a roomier body than a fitted tee. In a classic awful lot of cough syrup shirt, the medium you usually wear comes back as a relaxed medium, not a slim one. The next situation is the one to read if you are after more room.

When the page tells you to size up for an oversized fit

Simple to misread: two styles carry a note that does two things at once. For the Warning T-Shirt the copy says true to size, with the added line that for an oversized fit you should consider sizing up. Slightly differently worded, the Double Cup Cargo Shorts run true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. The instruction is conditional rather than a correction. Nothing is mis-sized here, and the brand is simply explaining how to reach a looser silhouette. The intended fit is your normal size; if you want it big, go one up and stop, because the note says one.

Where the style runs small

This is where skipping the product copy costs the most. On the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt the warning is explicit: the style runs small, so order one or two sizes bigger than your regular size for a relaxed fit. Both are wide-fit, cropped tees in lightweight cotton jersey, rinsed for a vintage feel, with water-based prints front and back, unlike the heavyweight classic tee. The extra size buys length as much as width, since a cropped body is short by design. A large or extra-large is what that means here if you normally wear a medium. This is the plainest illustration of why one rule cannot cover thats an awful lot of cough syrup as a catalogue.

When the brand publishes flat measurements

Every rule of thumb is beaten by the actual flat measurements that a few products carry. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts carry waist and inseam: small 29.5 inches and 7.75, medium 31.5 and 8, large 33.5 and 8.5, extra-large 35.5 and 9, 2XL 37.5 and 9.5. On the Wok Is Dead and Promethazine Tour tees the brand publishes width by length from the back: small 20 inches by 17.5, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5. The method is simple: lay flat a garment you own and like, measure armpit to armpit and collar seam to hem, then compare. That comparison tells you more than any letter can, and it assumes nothing. Use the measurements wherever they are published, and disregard everything else.

When the purchase is bottoms

Bottoms follow a second logic that catches people out. Sweatpants and sweat shorts sit on the XS to 3XL ladder, and the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants are published as fitting true to size. Denim and workwear go by waist from 28 through 44, and that leaves no letter to convert. That takes in the cargo shorts, the carpenter pants and the Dickies-based trousers. If you are shopping alocs shorts and the listing offers a waist number, measure trousers you already wear rather than guessing. There is no published conversion between them, and the two systems do not map onto each other.

When the product page says nothing at all

Judgement is needed where a listing carries no fit note at all, which is plenty of them. The safest assumption is true to size, because that is the published default wherever the brand does say something. Beyond that, let the garment type guide you: a 16 oz hoodie and a 6.5 oz tee behave very differently, and heavier cloth is less forgiving. On an awful lot of cough syrup hoodie with no note, your usual size is the reasonable default, and one up if you want it oversized. A lightweight cropped tee running small says nothing about a fleece sweatpant, so do not import a rule from one style onto another. Choose one that does publish a note if the piece matters and the page is silent.

What to order, style by style, in one place

All of the published fit instructions are collected in one place below. Read the middle column as what the brand says on the product page, and the right column as that turned into a decision. When a style is missing from the table, no note has been published and the true-to-size default applies. No part of it is inferred from resale listings or reviews, or averaged into a general rule. Every line of it was checked in September 2026. Read it beside the product page, not instead of it, since products come and go every few weeks.

A last word on charts you find elsewhere

There is no published size chart for this brand, and it is worth repeating because it is the point most likely to save you a parcel. The pages that would hold one load without any chart, and the frequently asked questions do not fill the gap. Somebody else built every chart circulating under the brand’s name, usually by measuring one garment or copying a template, and neither accounts for a catalogue where one tee runs small and another runs relaxed. Returns do exist, with a refund window of a month from purchase and return shipping paid by the customer, so a wrong call is recoverable but not free. Only three things are reliable: the per-product fit note, the published flat measurements where they exist, and a tape measure against something you own. Reading the copy properly is cheaper than posting a box back.
