Chief Editor & Founder of Splished

Appreciating craftsmanship and using clothing for the purposes you need them; functional fashion — that's what Splished is at its core. Good material, thoughtful pattern design, and how your gear makes you feel is what's most important.

Welcome to Splished, a brand new website built with connectivity in mind: join the community threads forum, read the articles here on the site, and kick back and enjoy the content; all for free.

I'm Bryan and I built Splished after launching my style/fashion YouTube channel in March of 2025. Because video content is much more time-consuming to create than writing articles and posting on forums is, I thought that utilizing my skillset as a full stack web developer would come in handy for a new project where I can bring several passions together to form a cohesive unit.

Authenticity, expression, and creation: bundle these together with a knack for style, writing, video editing and the general ability to yap... and combined, we get Splished.

Bringing passions together and gathering other like-minded people to do the same is one of the things I've enjoyed doing most in life. Fostering a community, getting to know yourself a little better, and living life the way you intend — what more could we ask from life?

Show your support

If you have similar passions or just like to see other people thrive (as we all should), then absolutely join the website subscription! It's free, and only requires an email address.

After signing up, you'll be given access to Threads, our in-house Discourse forum that has all the features you need to chat with fellow style and fashion enthusiasts.

And of course, if you want to support me or show some love, there is a paid subscription available — this website is essentially my alternative to using Patreon.

Denim overalls — how to wear them, and where to get them

Overalls, also called bibs, are pretty useful. They keep you clean from debris while maintaining your clothing underneath, preventing abrasion and staining. They can also look pretty good, if they're your style. These ones are from Whale Wish, a company I affiliated with because I liked their stuff

Much like the Iron Ranger, the Pecos roper boots have a long history (100+ years vs 65-ish, anyway). Still sold on the Red Wing Shoes website today, these boots are part of their work line, which features a poron insole instead of the traditional leather you'd find in
