Let me help you younguns. Its a watch pocket. Back in the day when jeans were invented men had pocket watches,

I was always told it was for condoms but I have 4 kids so I wouldn’t know
It's a watch pocket; in case anybody was wondering the actual answer. Pocket.. watch... watch pocket...
Slow down, I'm not following
In Germany we need coins to unlock supermarket carts, so I use the coin pocket for it's intended purpose to house my one coin.
I thought it was meant to be a pocket watch pocket?
Now I store my plastic cards in there.
Airpods!
Kevin keeps stealing my fucking ravioli tho
He's a hungry lil guy
Wireless earbuds case fits in there for me, when Kevin isn't there.
How does that fit in there? I feel like whenever my pants have a coin pocket, they can only fit a singular penny or one stamp. I could probably also put a singular earbud in there, but imagining the entire case in there is wild to me.
Image Transcription:
Text at the top reads: what is that small jean pocket actually for The first image shows a hand pointing downwards and to the right and the text underneath "a safe place for my finger to hide", the finger has a label reading "he is so nervous" The second image shows a ravioli square and the text "ravioli" underneath The third image shows a naked, balding grey-haired man with a mustache, waving and smiling from his place inside the aforementioned pocket and the text "a home for kevin"

Are we doing "good human" here or are we eschewing that as a "reddit thing"?
It is literally called a "coin pocket". smh
“The small pocket in jeans, often referred to as the "watch pocket" or "coin pocket," was originally designed to hold pocket watches. Nowadays, it's commonly used for carrying small items like coins, keys, or other small objects.”
Glad to see at least someone knows their historical facts. Pocket watch pocket indeed.
How many people using pocket watches have you come across this year?
Maybe we should bring that back! I never liked wrist watches.
I really like pocket watches and have tried them out. Skeleton pocket watches are beautiful but kind of hard to read. Main issue is that they are usually mechanically spring powered which requires proper winding technique and doing it frequently.
Chris (Simpsons Artist) is the best!
In literally every pair of pants I have, I use that to store a hair elastic or two. Then whenever I need my hair up (eg, eating and hair would get in the way), I have one easily on hand.
Hah, just the other day I realized the 'tiny' pocket on my Guess jeans is actually large enough to easily hold an entire Leatherman multitool!
Lucky me, now that I know they make their mini pockets that big, I'll probably make sure to go for Guess jeans in the future next time I go clothes shopping 👍
Earbud case. Can bust them out and drown out some screaming children in seconds.
A half used carpenters pencil is what mine finds itself being used for most often. New ones stab my side and if they're too short they just get lost in there.
