Three addresses, and what the documentation actually supports

In-person selling at That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup runs from three confirmed addresses: 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St in Los Angeles, and 5410 Almeda Rd in Houston. No store locator lists them, because the brand’s site does not run one, so the addresses come from the label’s own social profile instead. That is thinner documentation than meme-inspired streetwear brand a city guide would prefer, and it shapes everything below. The name refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, and that is context for the signage and nothing more. Shoppers turn up searching for alocs clothing, cough syrup clothing and a dozen other spellings, and the stores carry the same catalogue the website does. A Los Angeles company founded by Desto Dubb, the label began with him selling clothes from a van in a downtown parking lot.

7669 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles

Melrose Avenue houses the flagship, and the founder uses that address as his own display name on social media. It sits on the stretch of Melrose that has carried streetwear retail for decades, which makes it the easiest of the three to fold into a shopping afternoon. This is a recorded drop location too: the BlueBucksClan capsule, That’s A Awful Lot of Legendary, was released at this address on 28 April 2023. Reporting from 2023 recorded a No Jumper store opening next door, a useful landmark if it still stands. Coverage of the label describes long lines here and limited-edition drops, so a release day and a quiet weekday are different experiences. A few blocks along the same street, at 8360 Melrose Avenue, a collaboration pop-up with Cookies ran in April 2023, so this stretch has hosted the brand more than once. Expect the core range at the usual levels, roughly $150 for a tee and roughly $200 for a hoodie at the label’s own store as of September 2026, and those numbers move.

312 W 5th St, Los Angeles

Downtown holds the second Los Angeles address, 312 W 5th St, and it is a different trip from Melrose in every practical sense. Downtown is where the business began, since the founder sold clothes out of a van in a parking lot there before any storefront existed. The research turns up almost nothing beyond the address itself: no opening date, no floor plan, no dedicated coverage and no posted hours. Pair this one with downtown errands rather than with Melrose when you plan a route, as the two sit a long crosstown drive apart. Treat it as a confirmed listing rather than a profiled store. Stock should track the same catalogue, including alocs shorts at about $150 and the denim cargo shorts at about $150 at the company’s own store as of September 2026.

5410 Almeda Rd, Houston

The only confirmed location outside California is Houston, at 5410 Almeda Rd. It maintains its own store account on social media, separate from the main brand account, and that is the clearest sign it runs as a shop in its own right rather than as a stockist. A Houston store makes obvious sense for a label built in southern rap markets, though that is inference rather than documentation. Nothing establishes the store’s size, its opening date or its hours. The brand’s own about page describes running stores across Southern California, a phrase that plainly does not cover Texas, so the two statements sit awkwardly beside each other and neither carries a date. Anyone searching thats a awful lot of cough syrup Houston turns up plenty of posts and very little verifiable detail.

Hollywood Park, Inglewood: what temporary retail looked like

Permanent is not what every store this brand opens turns out to be. At Rolling Loud California, held from 14 to 17 March 2024 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, the label ran two onsite stores inside a carnival it built for the festival, arcade games and swing ride included. A pop-up address is real while it lasts, then gone, so an old post is not evidence that a shop exists today. That same caution covers collaboration pop-ups the brand has hosted inside other retailers‘ stores. No recorded example of temporary retail under the awful lot of cough syrup name is clearer. Something announced for a weekend should be read as a weekend.

The brand’s own online store, and the way ordering works

The brand runs its own online store, and this guide prints no web address for it by design. The storefront runs on Shopify and carried roughly 154 products at the last count, across tees, hoodies, sweatpants, shorts, denim, workwear and accessories. Per-product fit notes are published and they are not uniform, most pieces described as true to size and a few explicitly running small, so read the product copy instead of assuming. On most apparel sizes run XS to 3XL, denim and workwear sell by waist from 28 to 44, and there is a small kids range. Stock is the real constraint rather than choice, since about 43 percent of size variants were sold out when the catalogue was checked in September 2026. No global size chart renders on the site and no washing instructions do either, a genuine gap when you are buying hand-dyed pieces unseen. The store carries sale and deals sections too, where mystery items sold at roughly half the standard price as of September 2026.

What the published shipping and returns terms say

Brief is what the published terms are, and they are worth knowing before checkout. Domestic orders are stated at up to five business days, with international orders up to fourteen. Upper bounds, not guarantees, is what both windows are. Refunds must be requested within a month of purchase, which is a shorter window than some shoppers expect. Large domestic orders get free shipping, there is no free option on international shipping, and the published terms do not define what counts as large. Return shipping falls to the customer, which means ordering two sizes of a hoodie at about $200 to try at home carries a real cost. Nothing posted covers exchanges, so plan around the refund window rather than assuming a swap is available.

What could not be verified about the three stores

Rather than papering over them, three gaps should be stated plainly. For none of the three stores has an opening date been published. Current opening hours are not posted for any location either. And it could not be confirmed that all three are still trading, which is the gap that matters most if you are getting in a car. No store locator exists to check against, and the addresses come from a social profile rather than a maintained page. The brand’s own posts will almost certainly show a closure or a move before any directory catches up. Call ahead, or check the store’s own posts for that day, and when a listing for cough syrup clothing quotes hours with total confidence, ask where it got them. For authenticity, the garment is what to judge rather than the shopfront: the yellow woven label, the posted fabric weights of 6.5 oz on classic tees and 16 oz on the classic hoodie, prices at the real levels, and a product name that actually appears in the brand’s own catalogue.
