stovepipe hats

Cylindrical formal headwear

Stovepipe hats are tall, cylindrical hats with flat tops and narrow brims, resembling the pipe that vents a wood-burning stove.

The style is most associated with Abraham Lincoln, who famously wore one.

The term is sometimes shortened to stovepipe: He wore a stovepipe to the costume party.
