Lincoln's hat was 12" tall or one foot tall.
I tried to find the answer to this question and was unable to. I did find out he used his hat for letters, bills, and papers instead of his pockets.
IT was a railspitter
Abe Lincoln's hat was called a stove pipe hat because the rise is so tall and straight with no flare that it resembles the length of a pipe. Your welcome

The Smithsonian has it and it was on display a few years ago. Not sure it still is, but there is a photo of it online.
Lincoln's tall top hat simply symbolizes power and a good fashion sense. Even though no one wears them now, they used to be a symbol of those who were wealthy and new what was "in."
