Here is why jeans really have this little pocket

We have already shared the slightly diligent story behind the form V under the collar of your sweater. Although most of the modern design versions are “false”, the original “Notch” extended to the helmets of football players and also absorbed part of their sweat (Oh!).

But what about the tiny (and slightly useless) pocket in front of your jeans? Does that do something?

For any reason, everyone in my school brought him into the head that it was for condoms. A quick online search proves that we are not alone, but we were very wrong.

So what’s really going on?

According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica website, The Pocket is not only timeless – it was originally created by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis to hold watches.

Although their jeans were patented in 1873, the functionality was not added to the jeans produced in mass until the 1890s, adds Brittanica.

This is proof that the jeans were originally designed for very relaxed wear because the costume jackets at the time always had a pocket for watches.

This would mean that the now classic jeans and a blazer combo would have left you too many options to store your clock.

The original jeans were marketed with carpenters, railways, farmers and minors, adds Brittanica.

This is why some associate the small pocket with gold nuggets – minors can actually store tiny pieces of metal in there.

These small metal rivets in the shape of a popper that cover the mini pocket are just for strengthening.

You can even see them described in the original patent of Levi Strauss in 1873, although it did not yet include the mini pocket – just the rivets.

These reinforced points have helped prevent your jeans’ legs from tearing themselves apart (I wonder what their inventor would have thought of the modern blazer and the torn jeans combo …).
