Their laconic design is notable for convenience, which is created by a special cut and the presence of pockets. We will talk today about one of them - the smallest one, located on the right side inside the main pocket, because surely many wondered - what is it for?
A bit of history
As you know, the first jeans appeared as uniform for gold miners. They appreciated tight denim pants for their comfort, durability and long service life. Cowboys of the Wild WestThey had to stay on horseback for a long time, they also appreciated jeans, and over time they became, along with a cowboy hat, the personification of their era.
It is the period of the gold rush and the domination of cowboys associated with the creation of jeans with a small pocket on the right side, located inside the main pocket. It appeared in 1873, when Levi′s brand designer Michael Regalo first introduced this model in the company's catalog.
Major versions
As already noted jeans served as work clothes, so all their details, including a small pocket, had a practical purpose. And yet the debate about what exactly it was created for, is still going on. Let's look at the main versions of the appearance of this element of jeans, because some of them are quite entertaining!
Version one: For cowboys. It is known that they were heavy smokers, but, not having big means for frequent purchase of smoking accessories (in particular, the popular Zippo lighters so far), they needed a particularly good place to store them. A small pocket just contained this lighter, and even a horse on a horse at high speed did not lose it.
Version two: for hours. At the end of the nineteenth century, round little watches were in vogue, the chain of which was attached to the belt loop, and they themselves were placed in this pocket. Over time, the watch “moved” to the wrist, and the jeans remained with a small pocket.
Version four: for gold miners. During the gold rush, workers in the mines found nuggets of various sizes. And since their work was physically very active, there was a risk of losing such an expensive find. Therefore, the designers of denim clothing and invented a way to save the gold found, providing for him a separate reliable pocket.
