  • The Small Pocket Inside Your Jeans Pocket Wasn’t Originally For Condoms And Coins

    Wait, do people still carry those? Coins people, I’m talking about coins.

    We know the jeans pocket is good for carting around all the usual suspects (keys, wallet, phone etc), but what about that smaller pocket that sits above the regular one? I mean other than storing your naughty stuff what good can come of such a tiny storage space? Huffington Post to knock it out the park:

    It’s a watch pocket, originally for men who wore pocket watches and needed a protective place to store them…

    The Levi Strauss blog confirms [this] conclusion: “The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket.

    The pocket appears on the oldest pair of jeans in the Levi’s archives, which date to about 1879.

    The blog did confirm that over the years this little pocket has served many functions – ‘condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket’.

    And that right there is your utterly useless fact for the day. Try it out on random people, and if anyone cuts you off and answers the question you know they too are a 2OV reader.

    You then give each other a knowing wink and high five – it’s Friday mother truckers.
