The small pocket in jeans is also known as a watch pocket because it was originally designed to hold pocket watches. The pocket was first used with the original Levis "waist overalls" jeans in 1890. The pocket was intended to keep pocket watches safe and easily accessible. The pocket is still present in modern jeans as an homage to the original design and to maintain the integrity of the early design. The pocket is usually located on the right-hand side of the front of the jeans, and it is too small to be useful for most items. Although the pocket is called a watch pocket, it has been used for other items such as coins, matches, lipstick, and even condoms.
