ALOCS Outfits Care Tips Fit Comfort and Care

A single rule does not cover this catalogue

Fit questions here turn up in the same shape: what size should I order? It comes down to the style, since That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup puts out its fit guidance product by product, not once for the range. True to size is the line most of the catalogue are published with. The brand instructs you to go one or two sizes bigger on two tee styles, which run small. True to size describes a further two as well, though each one awfullottacoughsyrup.com asks you to size up for the oversized look. Returns happen exactly when a single rule is applied anyway, because instructions of that kind cannot be folded into one.

The size chart that is missing, and what that means for you

There is no global size chart, 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. That means the product description is 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 picking from

Look at the range first, and what is actually on offer. Small through extra-large appears on nearly every style, and apparel runs XS to 3XL. The upper end is narrower than it appears: 3XL appears on 48 products, so a 3XL buyer shops a subset of the catalogue. Denim and workwear sit off that ladder and are 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 the style is true to size

Given 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. The size you normally wear is the one to order on every one of these. True to size already means a roomier body than a fitted tee, since the classic tees are described as relaxed-fit. A relaxed medium, not a slim one, is what your normal medium gets you in a classic awful lot of cough syrup shirt. The next situation covers you if you are after more room.

Where the page says to size up for an oversized fit

It is easy to misread, because two styles carry a note that does two things at once. Along with the line that for an oversized fit you should consider sizing up, the Warning T-Shirt runs true to size. On the Double Cup Cargo Shorts the wording differs slightly: they run true to size, and for an oversized fit you size up one. The garment is not mis-sized, and the brand is simply explaining how to reach a looser silhouette. What the instruction gives you is a condition, not 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 a style runs small

This is where skipping the product copy costs the most. An explicit warning sits on the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt: the style runs small, so order one or two sizes bigger than your regular size for a relaxed fit. Cropped and wide-fit, 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. That points a usual medium at a large or extra-large here. This is the clearest illustration of why one rule cannot cover thats an awful lot of cough syrup as a catalogue.

When flat measurements exist on the page

Any rule of thumb is beaten by the actual flat measurements that a few products carry. The Wok Is Dead and Promethazine Tour tees come with published width by length from the back: small 20 inches by 17.5, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5. 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. 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. When measurements are published, use them and disregard everything else.

When bottoms are what you are buying

People get caught out by the second logic that bottoms follow. Sweatpants and sweat shorts use the XS to 3XL ladder, and the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants are published as fitting true to size. 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. Rather than guessing, measure trousers you already wear when you are shopping alocs shorts and the listing offers a waist number. The two systems never map onto each other, and nothing published converts between them.

When the product page tells you nothing at all

Judgement comes in 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. After 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. Since a lightweight cropped tee running small says nothing about a fleece sweatpant, no rule should be imported from one style onto another. Choose one that does publish a note when the piece matters and the page stays silent.

What to order, style by style

The table gathers every published fit instruction in one place. The middle column carries what the brand says on the product page, and the right column turns it into a decision. Nothing has been published for a style that is absent, so the true-to-size default applies. Nothing here is inferred from resale listings or reviews, or averaged into a general rule. Because products come and go every few weeks, read it alongside the product page, not instead of it. Every line of it was checked in September 2026.

One last word on charts you find elsewhere

The single point most likely to save you a parcel bears repeating: there is no published size chart for this brand. Whoever built the charts circulating under the brand’s name did it 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 would hold one load without any chart, and the frequently asked questions do not fill the gap. Rely on the per-product fit note, the published flat measurements where they exist, and a tape measure against something you own. With a refund window of a month from purchase and return shipping paid by the customer, returns exist, so a wrong call is recoverable but not free. Reading the copy properly is cheaper than posting a box back.
