RE: What was Booth wearing?
If I'm not mistaken, the low crowned hat Booth is wearing in that photo is a dress hat, a "low topper" or "John Bull". A stiff hat covered with beaver skin - a lower version of the popular stovepipe. Expecting a ride into a wet, cold night, I'm guessing he would have opted for something more functional, like the one the devilishly handsome Mr. Smith is wearing.......
