    Build the towers taller then. Also, building regs should mandate doorframes high enough to walk through in stovepipe hats. The country would be better for it.

      Brunel was only five feet tall, so his hat would probably fit through current doors: Who's Who of Short People: Isambard Kingdom Brunel
