This tall, cylindrical hat was a signature part of the 16th president’s wardrobe, often associated with his lanky stature and formal appearances.
Explanation:
This clue refers to Abraham Lincoln’s signature tall, cylindrical hat, often called a "stovepipe hat" because it resembles the chimney pipes used in old stoves. The term is straightforward—no wordplay—just a direct nod to the 16th U.S. president’s iconic accessory, which became a symbol of his presidency. If you picture Lincoln’s portraits or statues, that’s the hat you’re thinking of. The answer is simply the two-word name for it mashed together.
