Knickers, Men’s Clothing in Harbour Town

The entrance to Knickers in Harbour Town, with a hanging sign of a golfer in knickers and a wall sign for casual men’s attire

A men’s clothing shop in the Harbour Town shops since 1971: shirts, jeans, shorts, belts and sandals.

Knickers is the men’s clothing shop in the Harbour Town shops, and it has been dressing men in Sea Pines since 1971. Its sign shows an old-time golfer in knickers and promises casual men’s attire and accessories. Online it goes by Knickers HHI.

What Knickers Sells

Classic Southern clothes for a resort week and after it: button-down shirts, jeans, twill trousers and shorts, belts and sandals. Among the labels on its shelves are 34 Heritage jeans, Castaway shorts, Hari Mari sandals, Hook N Hide belts and Forrest Lennard trousers.

Who Runs It

This is a small shop, and the people behind the counter are much of the point. Jock Miller has been part of Knickers since 1981, according to Hilton Head Monthly, and reviewers name him and his colleagues for help with fit and with picking out gifts ahead of a trip. Part-time residents say they stop in every time they are on the island.

Getting There

Harbour Town is at the south end of Sea Pines, behind a gate. Unless you own property there, are a resort guest or have a Sea Pines rental booking, the gate fee is $10 per day for a standard vehicle. Park in the Harbour Town lot and walk in; Knickers is at 149 Lighthouse Road, Suite L, next to Radiance and close to the lighthouse. The rest of the village is in our Harbour Town guide.

What reviewers say

The good ones name the people: Jock and Louise come up in several, for help choosing shirts, a birthday outfit, or gifts picked out ahead of a trip, and one couple liked that the help stopped short of pressure. Part-time residents say they stop in every time they are on the island. The low scores tell the other side of the same small shop: two shoppers describe a curt remark from an older man on the floor, once over where the clothes are made and once after trying on shirts and not buying. In a store this size, one person's manner shapes the visit.
