Let me help you younguns. Its a watch pocket. Back in the day when jeans were invented men had pocket watches,
You can’t possibly be old enough to remember that
No, but I’m old enough to remember my granddad called it and have the railroad watch he used to carry there. He was an engineer and the trains ran on time. Interesting how long the design lasted.
I read somewhere that Trains was the reason time ran on time.
As in, before trains “Mid-day” was a different time wherever you went, it was just the time that the church rang the bell. Sure it was around midday because the sun was up there right at the top, but it wasn’t exactly midday.
Then the trains came along and they had timetables. To start with they could leave one station a quarter past twelve and arrive at the next one at 5 to twelve, so they had to synchronise the time over the whole line, so that’s why time runs on time.
Turns out, there’s a ton of good uses for a small pocket.
No, it’s a pocket for Kevin.
Ravioli, ravioli
What’s in the pocketoli
I was always told it was for condoms but I have 4 kids so I wouldn’t know
Man your wife’s boyfriend is fertile
Virile
And fertile
You’ve got a full raiding party!
It’s a watch pocket; in case anybody was wondering the actual answer. Pocket… watch… watch pocket…
Slow down, I’m not following
Shove a clock in your pants!
You can shove a clock in your pants. You friend can shove a clock in their pants, but you cannot shove your clock in your friends pants.
Nah its for iPod Nano
Guitar picks, little known fact!
In Germany we need coins to unlock supermarket carts, so I use the coin pocket for it’s intended purpose to house my one coin.
I thought it was meant to be a pocket watch pocket?
Now I store my plastic cards in there.
Pretty sure it started as a watch pocket.
It turned into a “coin” pocket when pocket watches went out of fashion and people didn’t know what else to use them for.
Airpods!

Kevin keeps stealing my fucking ravioli tho
He’s a hungry lil guy
Kevin is a ravenous ravioloi beast whose foodlust shall not be slaked.
Wireless earbuds case fits in there for me, when Kevin isn’t there.
How does that fit in there? I feel like whenever my pants have a coin pocket, they can only fit a singular penny or one stamp. I could probably also put a singular earbud in there, but imagining the entire case in there is wild to me.
Pall Mall Commander 3.0 pants and the Pixel Buds A is my setup.
My Guess jeans can actually fit an entire Leatherman multitool in that ‘tiny’ pocket. I think that’s pretty damn cool, 10/10 would recommend Guess jeans. 👍
iPod Nano

Are we doing “good human” here or are we eschewing that as a “reddit thing”?
Do what you like. I don’t care.
Thank you! What I like to do is ask meta-questions.
I’ve received a few "good human"s, it seems to be pretty much whatever you like. I don’t know why one person took offense at your question though.

In literally every pair of pants I have, I use that to store a hair elastic or two. Then whenever I need my hair up (eg, eating and hair would get in the way), I have one easily on hand.
Zippo
Watch out with that, I did it for years but eventually had to stop because I got sore skin from the gasoline in the Zippo. And I quit smoking so didn’t need it any more 🙂
Your second mistake was filling your zippo with gasoline
Well, it was Zippo lighter fluid, so I guess my second mistake was calling it “gasoline” 😉
Fits my folding knife perfectly
