Watch pockets

[Thomas]

Let's admit it folks, it isn't that our fingers are too fat. It's that the pocket is backed by our waistlines. :laughing:

I can relate to that. :thumbsup:

With so many people in favor of the watch pocket, I guess they're here to stay. Not including the one I cut out last night.

Work pants can never have too many pockets.

It’s just big enough for my keyless key. Goes in that pocket in the morning and comes out at night.

My leatherman juice rides in the watch pocket when I'm wearing jeans. In dress pants the pocketwatch is there instead.

Carry my flip phone in it.

Agreed, but I like pockets that I can stick my whole hand in... cargo shorts are my go to when I can get away without having to where long denims.

Now tell me what the little freaking semi-pocket is on the inside bottom of my right front pocket on several pair of my Duluth's and why the H is it there and not mentioned?
My keys stick it in crosswise at times and it's a pain.
All I found on line was
What is the purpose of the small pocket inside at the bottom of the right pocket of modern men's casual trousers? - Quora

Okay I tried using my watch pocket on my Carhartt jeans this morning, and the only thing I accomplished was to rip a fairly new scab off of the knuckle of my pointer finger. :thumbdown:

It is useless IMO. But it did cause me to find my stash of bandaids in my shop! :thumbsup:

No mention of it here, although there is about all the other info you'd ever want to know about pockets....

That little sucker of a pocket has always been too small and tight for my fingers!

For the most part, from what I've found, there's two explanations:

1. Watch pocket.
2. Coin pocket, lighter pocket, small knife pocket, a place to keep small items from moving around in the larger pocket.

I use it for my watch. Keeps car keys from scratching it.

Originally designed for pocket watch but wrist watches kind of killed them. One purported use is a condom holder.

I use mine for a pocketknife but added a short cord in order to retrieve it easily as I have big fingers.

My grandfather had a couple of watch chains. They use to be a fashion accessory.

It happens to be the perfect size for my car fob. It (the fob) has a key ring (but no keys) and I can easily slide one finger in, hook the key ring and extract the fob.

When the fob is simply in my pocket it gets buttons pushed by other stuff, or even just kneeling.

If wearing a pocketwatch on a chain, it goes in my left vest pocket. Have never carried a watch in a jeans watch pocket.
