We’re all been wearing jeans for years but have you ever stopped to think about what that little pocket within your pocket was for?

Some people use it for coins, while others just ignore it. But now the internet has an answer.

No, it isn’t just a fashionable little quirk, this little pocket has a use.

“Originally included as protection for pocket watches, thus the name, this extra pouch has served many functions, evident in its many titles: frontier pocket, condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket, to name a few”, says the Levi Strauss website.
