Jeans pocket - the square-ish one on the right

(1/8) > >>

phitsc:
Most of my jeans have this square-ish pocket, inside the round-ish one which you use to put your keys, money, hands. They all seem to have it inside the right outer pocket. I don't think I've ever used that little pocket. What's it for?

nudone:
I was told it was for Condoms. Seems a bit specialised to me.

awaymouser:
coins?

Your pocket watch.

It's supposed to help keep it from getting scratched and dinged up by your small change.  :)

tomos:
good question,
wikipedia doesnt have the answer *
I had an idea it was originally for pocket watches - but I think it too small for that

* look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeans#smaller_pocket
might have been originally for watches. Quote from a levis add:
Levi's ran an ad where a man uses the pocket to keep condoms ending with. "The watch pocket, invented in 1873, misused ever since."
--- End quote ---
not the best way to care for a condom :)
