A stovepipe hat and a top hat are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. A stovepipe hat is characterized by its tall, straight sides and a flat top, giving it a more rigid appearance. In contrast, a top hat typically has a slightly tapering shape and may feature a more rounded crown. Both are formal hats, but the stovepipe hat is more associated with specific historical contexts, such as the Civil War era.
