The stove pipe hat gained it's name because it is a hat style that was unique to the U.S. The inventor (a Cincinnati based hat company named Wilson/Pinchot) wanted to celebrate the uniqueness of the hat (and our country) by combinning two purely American concepts. The "Stove" part is a tip of the hat (no pun intended) to Ben Franklin and his American Franklin Stove. The "Pipe" part of the name is a way to celebrate the Native tribes who lived here before us. The Wilson/Pinchot company knew that by combining these two American legends it would be a way to show the European hat makers that America has a unique history completely independant from Europe. Since our history was unique, it only makes sense that our sense of style would be unique, therefore American designed clothing was to become a booming industry.
