                                AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                TO SCHEDULE 13-D

         This Amendment No. 1 amends the indicated items of the statement on
Schedule 13D, as amended, relating to the Common Stock, $.01 par value
("Shares"), of Duck Head Apparel Company, Inc., a Georgia corporation, (the
"Company") filed on behalf of Bettis C. Rainsford, a shareholder of the Company.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         Item 4 is hereby restated as follows:

         Mr. Rainsford continues to hold his shares for investment purposes,
although he did, on October 6, 2000, deliver to the Company a notice of intent
to nominate directors (including Mr. Rainsford) to stand for election for the
entire board of directors of the Company at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of
shareholders. Such notice describes Mr. Rainsford's intent, and the intent of
Talmadge Knight, a nominee who beneficially owns 98,300, or 4.1%, of the
Company's Common Stock, to effect changes relative to the Company should they
and the other nominees of Mr. Rainsford be elected to the Board of Directors,
which would include causing the Company to redeem the Company's common stock
purchase rights and to effect a sale of the Company, which sale would result in
the disposition of Mr. Rainsford's shares. Mr. Rainsford has been advised that
Knight Textile Corporation, a company owned by Mr. Knight, may make an offer to
the Company to purchase all of the shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
price in excess of the current (as of the date hereof) market price of the
Common Stock.

         Mr. Rainsford disclaims beneficial ownership of Mr. Knight's shares of
the Company's Common Stock and cannot give any assurance that Knight Textile
Corporation will make any offer for the purchase of the Company's Common Stock
or, if so, as to the price it would offer.

         Mr. Rainsford originally acquired the shares for investment purposes
and has continuously reviewed this investment based on an evaluation of the
Company and its business and prospects, including the Company's business and the
market price of the Common Stock. Although Mr. Rainsford's current intention is
as described above, Mr. Rainsford also intends to continue to review his
investment in the Company's Common Stock and may explore from time to time in
the future a variety of alternatives, including, without limitation, one or more
of the following: (a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Company;
(b) the disposition of all or any portion of securities of the Company held by
Mr. Rainsford; (c) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a sale,
merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company; or (d) any action
similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5(a) is hereby restated as follows:

</TABLE>

         Item 5(d) is hereby restated as follows:

         Mr. Rainsford has pledged a total of 218,593 shares of Common Stock to
Carolina First Bank as security for certain loans. Under the loans in certain
circumstances, Carolina First Bank have the right to receive proceeds from the
sale of the shares.

Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer

         Item 6 is hereby restated as follows:

         As discussed in Item 5, Mr. Rainsford has pledged a total of 218,593
shares of Common Stock to Carolina First Bank as security for certain loans.

         See Item 4 for discussion of other arrangements.
