I'll take a shot. I do not own a Fed, but have worked on some Campdrafts - which the Fed is based upon. The Akubra is relatively limp - even compared to a Miller. The PB - as Joe likes to make them - can be used as weapons! They are prety stiff coming out of the box, though they relax quite nicely with wear. MK ordered his light on the stiffener, and it still had pretty good body to it.

Hope this helps!
