There was more than one assassination attempt on President Lincoln's life. An attempted assassination in 1863 left a hole through what piece of his clothing?

Although most know that President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's theatre in 1865, you may not realize this wasn't the first attempt on his life. He was nearly killed two years prior to his death, but his famous top hat may have just saved him in that case, as a gunshot had knocked his hat off while he rode a horse to the Soldiers' Home from the White House. When his hat was retrieved, there was, indeed, a bullet hole through its stovepipe.
