The full catalogue runs to 154 products, and the material detail is uneven across it. A handful of core styles carry a full specification: an ounce weight plus a fiber breakdown. A second group give the fiber breakdown alone. Many give neither: nothing unusual for accessories, but worth knowing before comparing pieces. Seasonal graphics reuse the same construction language without repeating the numbers, while the classics are the documented ones. Anyone shopping alocs clothing on specification rather than artwork should start there.<\/p>\n

The 6.5 oz classic tees: organic cotton jersey<\/h3>\n

The Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt is published as 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. For a jersey that sits in the middle-to-upper band, above the four-ounce cloth used for cheap blanks and below eight-ounce boxy heavyweights. It should drape rather than cling in wear, stay opaque over a dark waistband and take a wide print without curling. It likewise survives repeated washing better than lightweight jersey. At the brand’s own store the classic tee runs about $150 as of September 2026, and prices here move. Other tees are listed as 100% cotton with no weight, and a few as lightweight jersey rinsed for a vintage feel.<\/p>\n

Heavyweight fleece: the 16 oz hoodie and the 14 oz sweatpants<\/h3>\n

The Classic Cough Syrup Hoodie is published as 16 oz 100% organic cotton, hand-dyed and printed in Los Angeles, with the yellow woven label at the wearer’s bottom left. Sixteen ounces is heavy fleece, genuinely so, well above mass-market hoodies and above most premium cut-and-sew work. Expect stiffness out of the box, a break-in measured in months and a structured shoulder that holds. Different cloth goes into the Classic Cough Syrup Sweatpants: 14 oz fleece of 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester. The knee and seat bagging that pure cotton fleece develops is countered by the polyester share. The set is therefore two weights and two fiber mixes, both about $200 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.<\/p>\n

Denim and the 14 oz Double Cup Cargo Shorts<\/h3>\n

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. The 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. Mid-heavy territory is what fourteen ounces amounts to, above most fashion denim and short of raw denim’s twenty-ounce range. Structure is what that weight buys on a short: the leg stands off the thigh and empty cargo pockets keep shape. The fiber content of the denim is never published, only the weight. Waist sizes run 28 to 44, and flat measurements start at 29.5 inches on a small.<\/p>\n

Cotton-poly workwear: the Dickies styles<\/h3>\n

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 Dickies 1574 work shirt is the base for the button-down, in the same 65\/35 blend. Polyester holds a crease, resists abrasion and limits shrinkage, which is what makes that ratio the workwear standard. As the base garments are a known industrial pattern, construction is documented by the body even without a weight. At the top of the range sit these, the jacket around $350 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.<\/p>\n

Blends in the accessories: boxers, tanks and socks<\/h3>\n

In these categories the convention is composition without weight, and that is what the smaller pieces do. 95% cotton and 5% elastane with a logo woven waistband, made in Los Angeles: that is how Cough Syrup Boxers are published. What keeps a mid-rise boxer from riding up is that five percent, and it is the component most likely to degrade first. 100% combed cotton is the listing on tank tops and crop tops, meaning short fibers are removed before spinning for a smoother yarn. The Cough Syrup Socks get described only as a cotton blend with no percentages, the least specific claim in the catalogue. An ounce figure appears on none of these, so nothing can be compared across brands beyond the fiber list.<\/p>\n

All the published numbers in a single table<\/h2>\n

Gaps surface faster when the figures are gathered in one place than when you read product pages one at a time. No entry below is drawn from anywhere except the brand’s own published copy as of September 2026. What sits in the right-hand column is interpretation, offered as context for what each number does in wear. Take a cell that says a figure is not published as a statement about the catalogue, not an estimate. Weights can change between production runs without announcement, so check a current page before buying on a number. Four classic styles are documented and little else is, which is what the table shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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. Unit-to-unit variation is what hand-dyeing produces, so two hoodies in one colourway are not guaranteed to match, and that is the most practical consequence here. Read that as a property of the process, not a fault. The yellow woven label is the 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.<\/p>\n What the brand never publishes<\/h2>\n The part that matters most before you spend $200 on a hoodie follows. Nowhere are washing or care instructions published: not on product pages, not in the FAQ, and not on the sizing pages, which render without content as of September 2026. A global size chart is nowhere to be found, and fit guidance is per product and not uniform: some tees run true to size, others one or two sizes small. For none of these fabrics does an independent lab test, shrinkage measurement or durability report exist, from the brand or from anyone else. Which means the 16 oz figure is 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.<\/p>\n Reading the spec sheet without over-reading it<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n Four numbers, 6.5, 16, 14 and 14, are the whole of what this brand quantifies. Many labels in the same band commit less than that to writing. Checkability is what makes them useful: 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. What they cannot tell you about awful lot of cough syrup pieces is how seams are finished or how a print holds after twenty washes. The published weights, the Los Angeles production claim and the garment in front of you are the grounds for judging cough syrup clothing, and the rest stays open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cloth weight is a measurement, not an adjective Heavyweight, premium and substantial is the vocabulary streetwear marketing uses for cloth.
