Why do I need a tiny pocket on my jeans?

Everyone knows that there is a tiny pocket on jeans, but few people wondered why it might be needed. Interestingly, initially it was a place for storing watches.

Used for the purpose

At one of the forums in discussing this topic it was indicated - in the 1800s the cowboys used a pocket for the clock. The representative of one of the most famous manufacturers of jeans - Levi Strauss - confirmed this in his blog.

And although most of us do not put their watches in their jeans, this does not mean that the pocket becomes useless. Levi Strauss allows: it can perform various functions, including a container for condoms or coins, matches or tickets.
