See in the video: That’s what the small pocket on the jeans is really intended for.
It’s on almost every pair of jeans: a pocket on the right front. It is too small for most things. The maximum that fits inside is change, a ticket or a condom. It is often assumed that the bag is intended for a petrol lighter. But none of this was the original purpose of the small bag. The solution to the puzzle can be found on the website of the jeans brand “Levi’s”: The small jeans pocket was intended for a pocket watch. Normally the watch was carried on a chain in the vest pocket. But workers in the 19th century didn’t wear vests, so the solution with the small pocket was invented. The idea was so good that most jeans manufacturers sewed such a pocket onto their pants. Although it is often referred to as the “fifth pocket,” the term is not accurate. Because “Levi’s” introduced the left trouser pocket as the last pocket on their jeans in 1901. Since hardly anyone carries a pocket watch these days, very few people use this jeans pocket. But maybe pocket watches will come back into fashion. And then comes the hour of the small, ignored pocket on the right front of almost every pair of jeans.EndFragment
