A bit of history
As you know, the first jeans appeared as uniform for workers - gold miners. They prized heavy denim pants for their comfort, durability and durability. Wild West Cowboyswho had to be on horseback for a long time also appreciated jeans, and over time they became, along with a cowboy hat, the personification of their era.
It is the period of the gold rush and the reign of cowboys that is associated with the creation of jeans with a small pocket on the right side, located inside the main pocket. It appeared in 1873, when Levi's designer Michael Regalo first included this model in the company's catalog.

Second version: for watches. At the end of the nineteenth century, small round watches were in vogue, the chain of which was attached to a belt loop, and they themselves fit into this pocket. Over time, the watch “moved” on the wrist, and the jeans remained with a small pocket.
Version four: for gold prospectors... During the gold rush, workers in the mines found nuggets of all sizes. And since their work was physically very active, there was a risk of losing such an expensive find. Therefore, the designers of denim clothing came up with a way to preserve the gold they found by providing a separate secure pocket for it.
