For this reason, every pair of jeans has a little pocket

and it’s probably not what you’d expect.

You might have given it some thought now and then. All jeans, whether they are for men or women,

typically have two front and two rear pockets.

One of the front pockets occasionally has a little pocket as well. Why, though, is it there?

It’s fascinating since we have to go back almost 200 years to pinpoint the origin. That little thumbnail-

sized pocket was more of a functional solution to a problem that no longer existed than a stylish addition to pants.

The brilliant concept was created by the well-known Levi’s jeans firm.

The first “additional” pocket, according to The Independent, was developed in the 1800s. The explanation

is that at the time, cowboys were the group most likely to be seen wearing jeans.
