Hey everyone! I’ve got a special treat for you today ⎯ an audio (yes, audio!) interview with an inspiring motorcyclist and entrepreneur, Laura Smith.
A longtime rider, Laura found herself frustrated by the lack of options in women’s motorcycle gear (aren’t we all!). Unlike the rest of us, though, she did something about it. Along with her husband, Scott Saunders, Laura founded Worse for Wear, a women’s motorcycle apparel company that focuses on fit, form and function.
I’ve been following Worse for Wear for awhile, and I love their approach to gear. It’s simply made ⎯ without a lot of flash or extra bits ⎯ and it will fit perfectly into just about anyone’s daily wardrobe. Not to mention it’s designed to CE-standards of protection, and made-to-order in the USA.
Worse for Wear just launched their first product, the Crosstown Jeans, and they’re about to launch their next fit, so I was thrilled that Laura agreed to take a break from her busy schedule for the interview.
Hope you guys enjoy!
Interview with Laura Smith, founder of Worse for Wear
Hear Laura and me discuss why we need women’s motorcycle gear that fits better, what goes in to making a pair of jeans that will protect your ass, and what it was like to be a woman rider when there were so few others. Press play or click here to listen.

I like the new format! I don’t mind a normal written blog post either, but this was nice and refreshing to get to know the folks doing the interview by listening to their voices. I felt like I was in the room listening to the interview instead of in my cubby at my office in SC. For interviews like this one, this was a nice change of pace.
Loryn, I look forward to hearing YOUR review on the Crosstown Curvy jeans soon! I was already interested in these jeans after stumbling across them on Instagram, but their company ban on pink has pushed me over the edge and these are next on my list to purchase… 🙂
Thanks for a great interview, ladies!
Beth, thanks so much for your feedback! I’m more of a writer myself, but I agree that audio works well for interviews. I’m glad you liked it!
I haven’t gotten my hands on a pair of Crosstown jeans yet, but I should have some to review next month! Don’t put off your purchase on my account, though ⎯ Laura thoroughly convinced me that they’re worth it. And I know, the no-pink policy is so refreshing 😉
Always great to year from you!
Audio is good, video is better!
Maybe someday!
