I don't buy it: The little pocket on jeans inside regular pocket

[UTUSN]

Wouldn't the "reason" for the little pocket have gone moot whenever the faux ripped jeans became a thing?!

But then, they didn't stop the little pockets when the previous "reason" (pocket watches?) stopped!

So THAT'S what it's for! Social media users share the surprising uses for everyday items - from an extra pocket to 'reinforce' jeans to the hole in airplane windows to prevent fogging

1. I always thought it was for a quarter or a key...

2. There's a hole in airplane windows?

What about pressurized cabins? (I don't fly, for full disclosure.)

5. There is a small hole.

I believe it vents to the inside. The window has multiple panes, and the outer one is solid. Also, planes leak a little, so they’re continually repressurized during flight.

3. I use the little pocket to put my hearing aids in when my ears get tired, or I put my

ring in it when I want to give my finger a rest (the ring is a little tight).

17. Growing up we all

called it a "jimmy pocket" and presumed it was used for whatever you could fit into it. My mom used to tell us to always carry a dime (quarter?) to call home if need to.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Wow. I learned something new today! A 'jimmy pocket'! Thanks for the new tidbit of knowledge!! NT

4. Amazing they haven't stripped out that cost of manufacture long ago

Like they did away with thick insoles and stiffeners, shirt pockets and plackets, cotton content, thick socks, thick vinyl. After awhile you realize you're paying for nothing.

7. Next you'll want to replace buttons with a zipper for the crotch. Gwangetouttahere.

9. don't go commando with zippered jeans!

don't ask me how I know this!

11. Painful memories from childhood.

8. Isn't the little pocket for coins?

Of course, when Steve Jobs introduced the iPod Nano, he pulled it out of that pocket.

[UTUSN]

10. Well, coins are falling by the wayside themselves? Plus, pocket watches were too big for the little

pocket. I never knew what.

[Hoyt]

12. Guitar -- and other fretted instrument players -- use it for picks, capos, etc.

[yonder]

13. I'm counting several Fender mediums and a Jim Dunlop or two as I type.

Just checked: add one Dava.

That's what that pocket is for, IMO.

[AndyS]

14. Keyless fob for my car. nt

[Fla Dem]

15. Wow, several items I never knew why they existed or thought wrong.

Always thought the holes in sneakers was to let you feet breath, but NO!!!

[Shermann]

16. They still work great for coins

Without them, the coins can scratch up your cellphone.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

18. Someone told me

The little pocket is there to hold a condom.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. I've never carried a pocket watch, but I used to keep a few $$ and some change for phone calls

in that little pocket when I was going out. No matter what happened, I was assured of having a ride home.

[Harker]

21. I never put anything in mine that I would want to see again.

Or anything I would not want laundered.
