Why no single rule fits this catalogue
Just about every fit question here comes in the same shape: what size should I order? It depends on the style, because That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup sets out its fit guidance product Thats A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup by product, not once for the range. The label instructs you to move one or two sizes bigger on a pair of tee styles, which run small. True to size is what most pieces carry. Two more styles fit true to size while suggesting you size up for the oversized look. There is no folding guidance of that kind into one rule, and applying one anyway is how returns happen.
The missing size chart, and what that means for you
No global size chart is published by the brand. A general sizing chart and a separate t-shirt size chart, its own sizing pages, render without any chart content as of September 2026. Rather than a temporary outage, that is the state of the site. On a resale listing, a blog or a lookalike store, any measurement table for alocs clothing is somebody else’s reconstruction, not a published figure. So the product description is your only authoritative source on fit, and it deserves a full read. Those charts are guesses, so treat them that way.
The size range you are choosing from
What is actually on offer comes first. Small through extra-large is listed on nearly every style, and apparel runs XS to 3XL. A 3XL buyer is shopping a subset of the catalogue, because 3XL appears on 48 products and the top is narrower than it looks. Kids sizes run 2/3, 4/5, 6 and 8. Denim and workwear sit off that ladder, but sized by waist from 28 through 44. Every instruction quoted below comes from the brand’s own copy, and the sections are arranged by situation.
Where the style runs true to size
The default across most of the catalogue, and the easiest case. Published as 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 size you normally wear is the one to order on every one of these. Because the classic tees are described as relaxed-fit, true to size already means a roomier body than a fitted tee. In a classic awful lot of cough syrup shirt, your usual medium gets you a relaxed medium, not a slim one. Extra room is the next situation.
Where the page says to size up for an oversized fit
Easy to misread: two styles carry a note that does two things at once. The Warning T-Shirt runs true to size, with the added line that for an oversized fit you should consider sizing up. The Double Cup Cargo Shorts say it slightly differently: they run true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. What the note gives you is a condition, not a correction. The garment is not mis-sized, and the brand is simply explaining how to reach a looser silhouette. Order your normal size if you want the intended fit; if you want it big, go one up and stop, because the note says one.
When the style runs small
In this case 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. Wide-fit and cropped, both are made 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. If you normally wear a medium, that points you at a large or extra-large here. This is the plainest illustration of why one rule cannot cover thats an awful lot of cough syrup as a catalogue.
When flat measurements exist on the page
A handful of products carry actual flat measurements, and these beat every rule of thumb. For the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, 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. To put them to work, lay flat a garment you own and like, measure armpit to armpit and collar seam to hem, then compare. More than any letter can tell you comes out of that comparison, and it assumes nothing. The published measurements win wherever they exist, so use them and disregard everything else.
When you are buying bottoms
Buyers get caught out by the second logic that bottoms follow. The Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants are published as fitting true to size, and sweatpants and sweat shorts sit on the XS to 3XL ladder. Denim and workwear are not sold that way: they go by waist from 28 through 44, so there is no letter to convert. That covers 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. Nothing published converts between them, and the two systems do not map onto each other.
Where the product page tells you nothing
Many listings carry no fit note at all, and this is where judgement comes in. Since true to size is the published default wherever the brand does say something, it is the safest assumption. Beyond that, let the garment type do the guiding: a 16 oz hoodie and a 6.5 oz tee behave very differently, and heavier cloth is less forgiving. A lightweight cropped tee running small says nothing about a fleece sweatpant, so do not import a rule from one style onto another. Your usual size is the reasonable default for an awful lot of cough syrup hoodie with no note, and one up if you want it oversized. Pick a style that does publish a note if the piece matters and the page is silent.
Style by style, what to order
The table collects every published fit instruction in one place. Read the middle column as what the brand says on the product page, and the right column as that turned into a decision. No part of it is inferred from resale listings or reviews, or averaged into a general rule. A style that is absent has no published note, which leaves the true-to-size default. Treat it as a companion to the product page rather than a replacement, since products come and go every few weeks. The whole table was checked in September 2026.

A final word on charts you find elsewhere
The point most likely to save you a parcel bears repeating: there is no published size chart for this brand. Somebody else made 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. The frequently asked questions do not fill the gap either, and the pages that would hold one load without any chart. 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. The sources you can rely on are the per-product fit note, the published flat measurements where they exist, and a tape measure against something you own. Posting a box back costs more than reading the copy properly.
