I've wondered the same thing.

I've wondered too.
A long time ago, when Earth was still cooling, I overheard an adult use the term "Tighter'n Dick's Hatband" at a backyard BBQ. I, all wide-eyed and innocent 'n stuff, asked aloud what that meant. I was shushed and told to forget it.
One explanation I've since heard is that it refers to a condition called phimosis, wherein the foreskin is too tight and when arousal occurs Mr. Weasel's widdle head cannot make an appearance...or something like that.
In any event I'm glad that, shortly postnatal, I was circumscribed...no...circumnavigated...that's not it...circumvented...Dang!...CLIPPED!

Being an ole fart and have heard and used that phrase many times over the years:

I refers to a tight wad, stingy with money.

Many moons ago some men used to carry their folding money in their hatbands.

More money stuffed into the hat band made of course the hat tighter on the head.

I did remember where the particular name "Dick" came from but have forgotten that.
