The little side pocket on jeans, what are they for?

What is it?

It's a mix of some white rhino and some levis 501.

That little pocket is where one keeps one's Ingersoll Dollar Pocket Watch.

Aimless, you know that the watch goes in the pocket of one's waistcoat!

Msr. White, the Ingersoll watch was the watch of the masses, the working man, the farmer and the railroad worker. Waistcoat, indeed! (snorts derisively)

Pocket knife

I hate this pocket. My phone keeps getting caught on it when putting it in my normal pocket.

Wait until something gets caught in your duodenal appendix while trying to pass through your gut. same type problem, really.

these pockets work perfect for coins fuck the haterz!!!!

this pocket is for your one hitter and half-size bic lighter. (bag of weed elsewhere, more cleverly hidden.)

rectum.

hardly knew 'em.

That pocket watch is fucking huge and wouldn't fit in any of my pockets

how do you know? you don't have any frame of reference

even if it is, maybe it's time to get a new pair of pants

Apparently, the little pocket is a design feature to stop jeans from falling apart, reinforced the hip area.

This is what they want you to believe.

I said it twice, accidentally

Wouldn't reinforcing one side put increased stress on the other side?

find them useful for holding my ring/wedding band, which would fall out of a larger pocket. surprised this hasn't been mentioned before.

Good point. Perhaps, reinforcing one side is built in obsolescence?

eheh great thread. I don't think it would be comfortable to carry several coins in that pocket (and coins are a thing of the past anyway, especially in a post covid era).
Same for a watch (and many people don't use wristwatches anymore, let alone old watches).
I say it's a mistake of evolution. like the appendix.

nevermind the waist

The small riveted watch pocket was first added by Levi Strauss to their jeans in the late 1870s.[19]

"The watch pocket was an original element of our blue jeans, like the rivets on our pockets, button fly, arched back pocket stitching and leather patch," Panek said. "To preserve the integrity of the early design, Levi Strauss & Co. maintains the watch pocket."

Mine is very much for washing plectrums.

it's for my keys and my airpods, duh.
