Can anyone tell me why on the right side as you wear jeans that there is a tiny pocket stitched into the top of the big pocket? I have never had or found a use for it.
It's a watch pocket. Back in the 1890s, cowboys used to wear their watches on chains and kept them in their waistcosts. To keep them from getting broken, Levis introduced this (safer) small pocket where they could keep their watch.

That does sound right, Omah, thank you. Wonder why they still stitch then in though?
I've often wondered that myself but never checked it out. Now, having read posts on here,
I also checked it out courtesy of Mr Google, what would we do without him?
