Why jeans have a tiny pocket inside the bigger one

Have you ever found yourself wondering what the tiny pocket-within-a-pocket is for on your jeans? You know the one I’m talking about; that small, seemingly useless space that doesn’t appear large enough to hold anything.

If you’ve ever tried to see what fits in there, you’ll know it’s far too small for a cellphone, while it’s awkward to jam cash – be it coins or notes – in there. The same goes for a ring of keys; there just isn’t room.

So what are those little pockets for? Well, fortunately for our curious readers, we have something of an answer… and it might not be at all what you were expecting.

Be they male or female models, chances are if you look at a pair of jeans, you’ll find two pockets on the front and two pockets on the back. What you might also find, however, is a strange little pocket inside one of the front pockets.

Go ahead and have a look. Almost all jeans have them, though their presence is enough to leave most of us scratching our heads.

As mentioned above, these pockets are far too small to hold anything of real significance (even getting two fingers into them is a challenge). So what purpose do they actually serve?

Interestingly, to find the origin we have to go back almost two hundred years. That little thumbnail-sized pocket isn’t a modern addition to jeans; instead, it was a practical solution for something that’s no longer a real problem today.

Behind the invention is none other than legendary jean manufacturer Levi’s.

According to UK newspaper The Independent, the first ‘extra’ pocket came into use in the 1800s. The reason? To assist the most common wearers of jeans at that point in time… cowboys.

Cowboys usually carried their pocket watches on chains or inside their waistcoats, but both of these methods put the watch at great risk of being broken during their owner’s day-to-day duties.

In order to combat this, Levi’s introduced a small pocket designed to carry a watch safely. By keeping their watches in these tiny pockets, cowboys could ride without fear of them being smashed on a ride.

How’s that for innovation?

If I’m honest, I had no idea. If you ask me, it’s incredible that the design has stuck with jeans all the way through to modern day. Cowboys might no longer be around, but their watch pockets certainly are!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Claps Back at Trolls Who Called Her ‘Unrecognizable’ in Stunning New Selfie

Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t hold back when she responded to trolls who accused her of being “fake” in a recent selfie she shared on social media.

The *Ghost Whisperer* star appeared in an Instagram post uploaded by her hairstylist, Nikki Lee. Some people online quickly criticized the actress for looking different.

This came after Jennifer cut her hair into a bob and dyed it a rich, dark brown. Her stylist captioned the post: “Was time to spice things up.”

As often happens when celebrities change their look, fans had a lot to say. While many comments were positive, some tried to insult Love Hewitt, suggesting she had cosmetic work done.

The 44-year-old actress, known for her role in *I Know What You Did Last Summer* (1997), was even called “unrecognizable” by some people.

Usually, celebrities ignore their critics, but Jennifer Love Hewitt chose to respond to her haters by posting a series of photos that jokingly suggested she had changed her look through surgery.

“So many people said I look different,” the actress wrote.

“I look the same as always. I couldn’t look more natural. I woke up like this. Filters don’t change you that much.”

The playful pictures Jennifer posted used several filters on her face. While they were exaggerated, she also urged people to be kind when commenting on others’ photos.

She ended her post with: “Let people be filtered or unfiltered. Be good. Be kind. Spread love.”

Earlier this year, people also criticized her appearance when she shared a picture for her 44th birthday.

“Woke up at 4am and was 44! I am deeply grateful, blessed, happy, and sometimes insecure about aging. I’m a mom of three amazing kids, married to the most handsome and awesome man, and really excited to see what this year holds for us,” her post read.

“I feel magic in the air, and I love magic. Off to work… thank you, Mom, for giving me life. I miss you so much. I’ll get my job done and celebrate my birthday later. P.S. Atticus woke up way too early and sang me happy birthday! My heart melted. Now go have a great day, everyone. It’s my birthday, so you have to do it! ”Many fans commented, surprised by how different the former child star looked.

“I saw this picture in an article and thought they made a mistake because I didn’t believe it was JLH. I didn’t even see a resemblance. I came to Instagram to double-check and I’m shocked,” one person wrote.

“Why doesn’t she look like herself? I’m so confused,” another added.

“That’s not her,” a third claimed. “It can’t be.”
