Purpose Of That Little Pocket On Your Jeans

Are you like me when you think about stuff that has absolutely no impact on anything on this earth?  Stuff that hits your brain as you are trying to drift off to sleep?  Add this one to your list of nonsensical stuff. Have you ever wondered why your jeans have a pocket on your pocket?  Not all jeans have them. But if you've ever worn a pair of Levis, you certainly have seen it.  It's located on your right front pocket.

The tiny little pocket inside a pocket is actually for watches, designed for cowboys in the 1800s. But since we are in 2016 and we are, for the most part, not cowboys, these pockets have taken on new guises.

It says on the Levi Strauss website, "Originally included as protection for pocket watches, thus the name, this extra pouch has served many functions, evident in its many titles: frontier pocket, condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket, to name a few."

There ya go, wonder no more.  You're welcome.
