That little pocket on your Levi's or Wrangler or any other pair of jeans was designed for, wait for it, a pocket watch!

This little tidbit of information is provided by Newsy.

I'm sure we all know this and I would have presumed that even in the 21st Century most people would be able to deduce this from a sense of history and common sense, but evidently that's not so.

This was the topic of an internet debate and Levi Strauss finally intervened to clear up the mystery.

I guess I'm really getting old, but pocket watches are in fact still sold and presumably because some people still use them.

Anyway, here's a video of mystery pocket debate and how it was resolved.

Cool.

I had been told when I was younger and believed it, that it was a key pocket.

Never really made sense.

Thanks for the link and knowledge.

Since they are Jeans and not dressy apparel, I would have guessed the pocket was for spare change.
And I always thought that I had common sense.

I use it for a small folding knife.

That's a cool bit of trivia.

Thanks for sharing.

It's perfect for my Zippo lighter.

Seems small for a pocket watch. I thought that's why they invented denim waistcoats
