Choose Your Hat Size: To figure your hat size, measure your head with a tape measure about a half inch above your eyebrows. If you do not have a tape measure, use a ribbon or string and measure it against a ruler. If you are between sizes or plan to wear a wig, select the larger size.

A tall "stovepipe" hat has become synonymous with the image of Abraham Lincoln. This style of hat, popular during most of Lincoln's life, was usually made from beaver or silk. Abraham Lincoln often combined style with function by storing legal and other documents inside his hat.
