Now located at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. He apparently used it to store & carry letters and notes. His hat size was 7 1/8.

I can tell you it was a black hat in what would be called a top hat design. I also know that it was made out of beaver skin which was considered very fashionable in that day.

The top hat that Abraham Lincoln wore the night he was assassinated can be found in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. Wearing a top hat was not just part of Licoln's fashion style, he also used it to store and carry documents, including letters and bills.

Legendary. What else can I say? Whenever somebody wears that kind of hat, I remember Lincoln. It is like an icon itself.
