Why any one rule will not stretch across this catalogue
Almost every sizing question here takes the same shape: what size should I order? Because That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup writes its fit guidance product by product, not once for the range, the style decides. On a pair of tees the cut runs small enough that the brand instructs you to order one or two sizes bigger. The note on the page for most pieces is true to size. A further two fit true to size but ask you to size up for the oversized look. Guidance of that kind cannot be folded into one rule, and applying one anyway is summer streetwear shorts how returns happen.
The absent 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. A temporary outage is not what this is; it is the state of the site. 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. The product description is therefore your only authoritative source on fit, and it deserves a full read. Read those charts as guesses, because that is what they are.
The size range you are choosing from
First, what is actually on offer. Small through extra-large is listed on nearly every style, and 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. Denim and workwear do not use that ladder, but 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
Published 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. This is the default across most of the catalogue and the easiest case. True to size already means a roomier body than a fitted tee, since the classic tees are described as relaxed-fit. Your usual size is the one to order for all of these. In a classic awful lot of cough syrup shirt, the medium you usually wear gets you a relaxed medium, not a slim one. More room is the next situation.
When the product page says to size up for an oversized fit
Misreading it is easy, because two styles carry a note that does two things at once. The Warning T-Shirt is published as true to size, with the added line that for an oversized fit you should consider sizing up. On the Double Cup Cargo Shorts the wording shifts slightly: they run true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. What the brand is doing is explaining how to reach a looser silhouette; the garment is not mis-sized. Read the instruction as conditional, not as a correction. Order your normal size for the intended fit; if you want it big, go one up and stop, because the note says one.
When the style is published as running small
The cost of skipping the product copy peaks here. 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. Unlike the heavyweight classic tee, both are wide-fit, cropped tees in lightweight cotton jersey, rinsed for a vintage feel, with water-based prints front and back. If you normally wear a medium, that points you at a large or extra-large here. A cropped body is short on purpose, so the extra size buys length as much as width. As an illustration of why one rule cannot cover thats an awful lot of cough syrup as a catalogue, this is the clearest.
When flat measurements are published
Any rule of thumb is beaten by the actual flat measurements that a few products carry. 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 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. Lay flat a garment you own and like, measure armpit to armpit and collar seam to hem, then compare. That comparison beats what any letter can tell you, and it assumes nothing. Published measurements take priority wherever they exist, so use them and disregard everything else.
When you are shopping for bottoms
People 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. Because denim and workwear go by waist from 28 through 44, there is no letter to convert. The cargo shorts, the carpenter pants and the Dickies-based trousers all fall under that. Nothing published converts between them, and the two systems do not map onto each other. Measure trousers you already wear rather than guessing if you are shopping alocs shorts and the listing offers a waist number.
When the product page says nothing at all
Judgement comes in where a listing carries no fit note at all, which is plenty of them. Your safest assumption is true to size, because that is the published default wherever the brand does say something. 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. Resist importing a rule from one style onto another, because a lightweight cropped tee running small says nothing about a fleece sweatpant. 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.
What to order, style by style
All of the published fit instructions sit in the table below. The middle column holds what the brand says on the product page, and the right column turns it into a decision. No note has been published for a style that is absent, so the true-to-size default applies. Resale listings and reviews are not the source of any of it, and nothing has been averaged into a general rule. The whole table was checked in September 2026. Because products come and go every few weeks, read it alongside the product page, not instead of it.

A closing word on charts found elsewhere
It bears repeating, because it is the point most likely to save you a parcel: 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 pages that ought to hold one load without any chart, and the frequently asked questions do not fill the gap. Returns 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. Trust the per-product fit note, the published flat measurements where they exist, and a tape measure against something you own. Sending a box back costs more than reading the copy properly.
