Haven't been on the boards in a while so I'm a little confused. I know AB and AB deluxe website are still working but are the companies done making hats?

If so that is sad but I'm glad I purchased mine years ago before KOTCS came out and it has the original lining with the head piece.

Think it's worth something these days?

AB Deluxe still has AB Henry's on hand (at least they did last June when I ordered). I love my Gray Henry.

Steve Delk transferred the Adventurebilt brand to John Penman a few years back, along with his KOTCS blocks.John has kept the brand alive through his ABL line of hats.

I understand that AB Deluxe is on "hiatus" for an uncertain period.

I am unclear regarding Steve's status. When I last heard, a few years back, he was still making the occasional hat, but that was before he transferred the name to John.
