The pocket watch pocket
By goz
The little pocket in your right jeans pocket isn’t for change.
Your jeans have 5 pockets
A couple of weeks ago I posted the following picture of my Miyoo Mini 2 in the pocket watch pocket on my jeans:
I received a few responses from people that didn’t know what that little pocket was in your jeans and was surprised I called it a Pocket Watch Pocket.
History of the pocket watch pocket
That small pocket was originally added to jeans as a way for people to easily carry and access their pocket watch. It wasn’t put in there for change or anything. The pocket has continued to this day simply because people think jeans look weird without it. Most of the time it is too small to be useful, but I’ve noticed that my American Eagle jeans have a pocket big enough for my Miyoo Mini 2 or my Airpods, which is pretty nice.
