Whats that tiny 5th pocket purpose?

Why the tiny pocket? 


Ever wondered what this tiny pocket on basically every pair of jeans is really for? 

Looks like the 5th pocket in denim jeans is original for holding a pocket watch. The fifth pocket was introduced around the turn of the 20th century and has stuck ever since. Seriously. Even Modern-day brands still use the traditional measurements for a size 16 pocket watch with the belt loops spaced just right. 

Got a pocket watch sitting around? Try it out! 

​No joke.
