Why Jeans have that Tiny Pocket

I'm sure everyone has noticed that tiny, little
pocket on the right side of your jeans and
wondered what it's doing there. Especially
considering the fact that it's inside a pocket
which is functional and big enough.
What makes it more puzzling is that the pocket
inside the pocket is not even hidden away. It's
not a secret pocket; it's right there in plain
sight.
So what is the point of that little pocket?

Well, being a guitarist, I could say that I use it for
keeping my guitar pick.
Or, carrying that small pendrive, which gets lost easily if
placed inside a bag.
Some even call it the "condom pocket".

Broke men hoard change inside it!
But did you know what it was originally meant for?
It was originally a watch pocket!

Back in the 1800s, cowboys used to wear their watches on
chains and keep them inside their waistcoats. To keep
them from breaking, Levi Strauss introduced a small
pocket where it could be securely placed.
But most of us use it for condoms, don't we?
