ALOCS Crewneck Sizing Guide What to Expect

Cloth weight is a figure, not an adjective

The usual streetwear copy puts cloth into feelings: heavyweight, premium, substantial. On its core pieces, That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup takes the more useful route and prints an ounce figure. What that figure measures in US apparel is how much a fixed area of fabric weighs, which is why higher means denser cloth. Denser fabric holds its shape longer, fights collar stretch and accepts a thick screen print without ink reading through. No product page mentions the alocs hoodie drop rest of it: it also costs more and wears warmer. What a weight will not tell you is yarn quality, dye stability or how the seams are bound.

What That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup actually publishes

154 products sit in the catalogue, and the material detail across them is uneven. On a handful of core styles you get the full specification: an ounce weight plus a fiber breakdown. Others publish the fiber breakdown alone. Plenty give neither, which is standard for accessories but worth knowing before comparing pieces. The documentation sits on the classics, and seasonal graphics inherit the same construction language without repeating the numbers. Anybody shopping alocs clothing on specification rather than artwork should start there.

The 6.5 oz classic tees: organic cotton jersey

The published specification of the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt is a 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton relaxed-fit tee with jumbo screen prints front and back and a yellow woven label at the hem. That puts it in the middle-to-upper band for jersey, above the four-ounce cloth used for cheap blanks and below eight-ounce boxy heavyweights. On the body it should hang rather than cling, stay opaque over a dark waistband and take a wide print without curling. It likewise survives repeated washing better than lightweight jersey. 100% cotton with no weight is the listing on other tees, with a few described as lightweight jersey rinsed for a vintage feel. Priced at about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, the classic tee sits in a band that moves.

Heavy fleece: the 16 oz hoodie and the 14 oz sweatpants

16 oz 100% organic cotton, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, with the yellow woven label at the wearer’s bottom left: that is the Classic Cough Syrup Hoodie as published. At sixteen ounces this is heavy fleece by any standard, well above mass-market hoodies and above most premium cut-and-sew work. It is stiff out of the box at that density, breaks in over months and holds a structured shoulder. 14 oz fleece of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester is the different cloth used for the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants. The knee and seat bagging that pure cotton fleece develops is resisted by that polyester share. What that leaves is two weights and two fiber mixes across the set, both about $200 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.

Denim: the Double Cup Cargo Shorts at 14 oz

The store’s denim collection contains only the Double Cup Cargo Shorts, published as mid-rise 14 oz denim garment-dyed through a double dye process meant to mimic sun-fading. Construction notes are unusually specific: double-layer double cup pockets at the back, cargo pockets at the side, button fly and a custom leather patch. At fourteen ounces this is mid-heavy denim, above most fashion denim and short of raw denim’s twenty-ounce range. On a short that weight buys structure, so the leg stands off the thigh and empty cargo pockets keep shape. From 28 to 44, that is the waist range, with flat measurements starting at 29.5 inches on a small. Only the weight is given; the fiber content of the denim is never stated.

Cotton-poly workwear: the Dickies pieces

Across the workwear line the published detail flips to a fiber breakdown with no ounce weight. The Cough Syrup Dickies Jacket is fully lined, with two welt pockets and a pencil pocket on the sleeve, made of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. The button-down sits on the Dickies 1574 work shirt in the same 65/35 blend. Polyester holds a crease, resists abrasion and limits shrinkage, which is what makes that ratio the workwear standard. Construction is documented by the body even without a weight, because the base garments are a known industrial pattern. At the top of the range sit these, the jacket around $350 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.

Blended cloth in the accessories: boxers, tanks and socks

In these categories the convention is composition without weight, and the smaller pieces follow it. 95% cotton and 5% elastane with a logo woven waistband, made in Los Angeles: that is the published Cough Syrup Boxers. What keeps a mid-rise boxer from riding up is that five percent, and it is the component most likely to degrade first. Tank tops and crop tops come listed as 100% combed cotton, meaning short fibers are removed before spinning for a smoother yarn. Only a cotton blend with no percentages is said about the Cough Syrup Socks, the least specific claim in the catalogue. Nothing can be compared across brands beyond the fiber list, because none of these carries an ounce figure.

The published figures, gathered in one table

Read product pages one at a time and the gaps take longer to show; pulled into one place, the figures make them obvious. The brand’s own published copy as of September 2026 is where every entry below comes from. The right-hand column holds interpretation, offered as context for what each number does in wear. Where a cell records that a figure is not published, that is a statement about the catalogue, not an estimate. Check a current page before buying on a number, because weights can change between production runs without announcement. The table shows four classic styles documented and little else.

Where the garments are made, and how

Repeatedly the product copy states Made in Los Angeles, and on some pieces it goes further. Described as hand-dyed and printed here in Los Angeles is the Classic Hoodie, with tees screen-printed in Los Angeles and one tee handmade with a rough stencil print. Hand-dyeing carries the most practical consequence, because it produces variation between units, so two hoodies in one colourway are not guaranteed to match. That is a feature of the process, not a fault. The yellow woven label is the one consistent finishing detail, at the hem on tees and at the wearer’s bottom left on the hoodie. Product copy also describes the company as a Black-owned business, and no mill, factory or supplier is ever named.

What the brand never publishes

What matters most before you spend $200 on a hoodie is here. Washing and care instructions are published nowhere: not on product pages, not in the FAQ, and not on the sizing pages, which render without content as of September 2026. There is no global size chart, and fit guidance is per product and not uniform: some tees run true to size, others one or two sizes small. No independent lab test, shrinkage measurement or durability report exists for any of these fabrics, from the brand or from anyone else. The 16 oz figure is therefore a manufacturer’s specification nobody outside the company has verified. Search for care guidance on thats a awful lot of cough syrup pieces and you get nothing back, because nothing has been written.

How to use the spec sheet without over-reading it

Everything this brand quantifies comes to four numbers: 6.5, 16, 14 and 14, and nothing else. That is more than many labels in the same band put in writing, in other words. What makes them useful is that they can be checked: a 16 oz hoodie feels unmistakably different in the hand from a ten-ounce one. They are also the cheapest counterfeit test there is, because a copy sold at a third of the price is not cut from sixteen-ounce organic fleece. How seams are finished, or how a print holds after twenty washes, is beyond what they can tell you about awful lot of cough syrup pieces. Judge cough syrup clothing on the published weights, the Los Angeles production claim and the garment in front of you, and leave the rest open.
