How tall was Abraham Lincolns hat?

It seems as much as 13″. I read that typical tophats of that era had a 7″ to 13″ “stove pipe”. Lincoln wore a variety of stove pipe hats, of different heights.

Here’s a photo of his hat. Other answers actually give the answer to the question, but I like pictures. On the other end of him were size 14 boots.

Tall enough that when he wore it, the bottom reached the top of his head.
