Back in the 1800s, cowboys used to wear their watches
on chains and kept them in their waistcosts. To keep
them from getting broken, LEVIS introduced this small
pocket where they could keep their watch. The first blue
jeans had four pockets —only one in back and, in the
front, two plus the small, watch pocket .
Since wristwatches have almost completely replaced
pocket watches, the “watch pocket” in jeans has
become obsolete. However, there are several modern
uses for the watch pocket you can try for yourselves:
Use it as a coin pocket: Although it’s a bit deep which
makes it difficult to reach the small change you put in
here, its depth also means that these coins won’t fall
out very easily.
Use it as a music player pocket: It’s
great to hold a small ipod or mp3 player.
Use it as a
comb pocket: You can fit a small comb in there for
any hair emergencies.
Use it as a floss pocket: A small pack of floss can fit
in there for spinach-in-teeth emergencies. Alternatively
it’s great for storing toothpicks. Just be careful not to
prick yourself!
Use it as a mouth freshner pocket: A small pack of
gum or mouth-freshener can fit in there.
Use it as a plectrum holder: Plectrums are so easy to
lose. Never lose them again with your very own
plectrum pocket!
Use it for your favourite cosmetic: It’s great as a
lipstick or lip balm pocket. Alternatively, it can store a
small tube of mascara, or even a small mirror. A nail
file also fits snugly in here but beware if you’re going
to be sitting – these may snap if not strategically
placed!
Use it as as plaster pocket: Perfect for band-aids.
Recommended for clumsy folks.
Use it as as tissue
pocket: You never know when you might need
one.
Use it as as lighter pocket
Use it as a key pocket
Use it as a USB memory stick
pocket
Use it as as ticket pocket: The technical
tailoring term for the watch pocket is a “ticket
pocket” and this is quite apt because you can
genuinely use it for ticket-storing purposes.
You can
use it for train tickets, bus tickets or cinema tickets.
Warning: Only put tickets in here if you don’t mind
them getting very scrumpled..
Use it as a swiss army knife pocket: In case you need
a can opener or corkscrew at a second’s notice.
Use it
as a pen /pencil holder: Stick a little folded piece of
paper or notebook in there alongside that pen or
pencil and you’re set for all urgent note-taking
eventualities. Talking of pieces of paper, this pocket
is also fantastic to store shopping lists.
Use it as a snack holder: It’s the perfect size to put a
small snack bar.
Use it as a flag holder: It’s Independence Day and
your arm is getting tired from waving your flag. Never
fear, flag-holder-pocker is here! Not just for
Independence Day! Also useful for any everyday flag
use.
Use it as a wand holder: For extreme Harry Potter
fans.
Use it as a thumb warmer: Ok, so it’s not the
comfiest of pockets for your thumbs, but it’s skin tight
so will provide lots of body heat to warm those digits in no time.
