I've found 6--well, 4 actually. They are: Abe Lincoln--his famous "stovepipe", which he referred to as his "office" (and which held legal documents) while he was a lawyer in Illinois.. William Howard Taft--often seen wearing a straw "boater".. (Woodrow Wilson--associated/photographed with a "top hat".. (Calvin Coolidge--seen in a variety of toppers, including a Sioux war-bonnet, at "photo/op" moments.. Franklin D. Roosevelt--who wore a crushed/beat-up "fedora", which belied his upper-class pedigree.. Harry S. Truman--ditto, but having anything but a pedigree. I invite additions to, or comments on, this list.
