ABOUT KATHIE SEVER

Kathie Sever is founder of Austin, Texas based clothier, Fort Lonesome. Before settling in Texas in the late 90’s Kathie (a California native) worked on a cattle ranch in Montana, where she was taken with the style of the local cowboys. She loved the dichotomy of rugged, macho guys who cared about the crisp, starched edges on their jeans. After working as a pastry chef she started Ramonster, a western-wear kids’ clothing line. Eventually, she became disenchanted with the garment production process. That doing it all—designing, dealing with manufacturing and production—didn’t work for her. She downsized to focus on custom work and that’s how Fort Lonesome was born.

As a trained oil painter, Kathie (and her team of artists) create custom artwork for individuals based on their life story, that are woven into garments. Their western inspired wear has become a celebrity status symbol. Their embroidered, rhinestone-encrusted designs have adorned the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Diplo, Miranda Lambert, Bill Murray and many others.
