The Tiny Pocket In Your Jeans Was Built For One Object

It's too small for your phone, and that's exactly the point.

Every pair of jeans has it. That maddeningly small pocket tucked inside the right front pocket.

It wasn't made for coins, tickets or your fingertips. It had one clear original purpose.

Back when jeans were workwear, men carried pocket watches on a chain. This pocket held the watch.

The watches faded away, but the pocket stayed stitched in, a tiny fossil of everyday history.
