Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

[marktaylor]

I would like to share a recent pleasant experience with a vendor.
I am getting back into the hobby and have been looking for quality gear. I had my heart set on a set of painted cloth gear, but didn't think I would be able to afford a new set and could not find any used pieces. I found the Dirty Back Boys website (www.dirtybackboys.com) and emailed Mr. Woods. We began talking and I ordered a set of his painted cloth gear. I was a little skeptical at first because of the price (cheaper than some used sets have sold for in the past) but when I received them- WOW I was impressed. The gear is very well constructed, and compares favorably to a painted cloth cap pouch and scabbard I examined several years ago. The items have hand and machine stitching where appropriate. The finish looks in line with original items as well.
Mr. Woods is very knowledgeable, courteous, and skilled. He shipped my items very quickly and even called to verify my address before hand. I plan to order more items in the future from him.
Please excuse my poor quality photos, they do not do these items justice!

Nice looking items. I'm not crazy about the bright white thread being used but other than that the stuff looks well made. Eric has always been a good guy to work with.

I too have a set of Eric's painted cloth gear I have had it for a couple of months now and has worked great for me. Eric is one of the best vendors I know with price going up on everything its nice having a vendor around giving you great products for a great price.

How much did that set you back? I didn't see it on their price list.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

Having recently received my set from Eric Woods of the Dirty back boys, I need to chime in on this thread. I am EXTREMELY pleased with my set of accoutrements. I'm not as much of an expert as some on this forum, but in my honest opinion, the crafsmanship is top notch. This is not a cheap quickly produced product. I honestly don't see how they are making much money at these prices. Not to find fault with my buddy Mark's photos, but the close ups are a bit fuzzy. Almost a double exposure on the stitching pics. The stitching is a lot less obvious and very tight. I'd recommend that if you want a set, to act quickly. They won't be able to sell them this cheap forever. I think the price is now $190 a set, which is a STEAL. And might I also add that Eric Woods is one of the nicest, most professional vendors that I've EVER dealt with....in ANY business. Once the secret is out, you might have missed out. Just glad I got mine.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

I am a frequent customer of Eric and he is by far one of my favorite sutlers. His attention to detail and customer service are fantastic. He also does clothing as well, he produced a CS 4 button Jacket for me and I love it.

A+++++++++++++ Rating with me, I'd recommend him to anybody.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

I have one of Eric's SA Blouses. Couldn't be happier with the Material, workmanship or price.

My buddy just picked up a painted cloth set from him too. First rate.

Get down to the Depot in g-burg if you haven't already. Wayne and Eric have a TON of good stuff in there but it is flying off the shelf.

And if you ever want custom work done to have an original reproduced, check them out too. There is really nothing they wont try.

The Dirty Back Boys are no longer doing buisness as that name. It is now solely owned and operated by Wayne Hutzell. The new web address is www.whutzell.com He also carries a full line at the Depot in Gettysburg.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

PM sent with Eric Wood's contact details, since Eric is the one who actually made that set.

If anyone has Mr. Woods' contact info, I'd appreciate it as I am in the market for a new Knapsack.

I'd appreciate knowing that too.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

Last I heard, Eric has taken a break from producing items to focus on other things.

Re: Dirty Back Boys / Eric Woods

Thanks Mark, I understand, guys like that burn out pretty quickly. I was thinking of getting a cartridge box sling from him for that cartridge box I got from you. I have to get some tins for it too.
