An old southern idiom. Could be used to identify a place that is empty, a person who is wound up, or any number of situations where the word "tight" is used. Nobody seems to know who Dick was. Apparently he had a tough time keeping his hat on his head.
I went and checked that place you told me about. They've closed up tighter than dick's hatband. Have been for years.

"Tighter than dick's hatband" should be "tighter than a dick's hatband" and could be written as "tighter than a detective's hatband". A phrase referring to the band on their hat and has nothing to do with the male anatomy. I believe this is a Prohibition Era phrase.
It fit tighter than dick's hatband. This should be "It fit tighter than a dick's hatband".

Refers to Dick Tracy's Hat. He could jump out of a plane and his hat wouldn't move.

A lot of people don't seem to know what dicks hatband is. It actually refers to a male penis, the hat being a condom and the the band ofcourse being the rubber band at the base of the condom.
