According to The Independent, the first “additional” pocket was developed in the 1800s. The explanation is that at the time, cowboys were the group most likely to be seen wearing jeans.
Cowboys used to either tuck their little pocket watches beneath their jackets or fasten them to a strap while riding, but both techniques led to the watch tumbling and shattering.
As a result, Levis began producing pants with a little pocket to protect the pocket watch.
The clock was placed in the cowboys’ pockets so they could ride without worrying that it may break. Smart!
I’m sorry, but I didn’t know that. It’s astonishing how well the appearance has held up with jeans throughout time. Although there are no longer any cowboys, their watch pockets still exist!
