“The small pocket in jeans, often referred to as the “watch pocket” or “coin pocket,” was originally designed to hold pocket watches. Nowadays, it’s commonly used for carrying small items like coins, keys, or other small objects.”
I really like pocket watches and have tried them out. Skeleton pocket watches are beautiful but kind of hard to read. Main issue is that they are usually mechanically spring powered which requires proper winding technique and doing it frequently.
I carry an electronic pocket watch everywhere i go. It’s replaced the wrist watch for me. It’s too big to fit in that pocket though, that’s where i keep my weed.

Glad to see at least someone knows their historical facts. Pocket watch pocket indeed.

How many people using pocket watches have you come across this year?
Maybe we should bring that back! I never liked wrist watches.

Probably. But it doesn’t fit in my coin pocket yet.
