Ever wonder why there's a teeny-tiny pocket above the regular ones in the front of your jeans? Or, more likely, have you ever gotten your thumb stuck in there due to its teeny-tiny smallness? Well, wonder no longer.

有没有想过，牛仔裤口袋上方的迷你口袋用途何在？或者，更有可能的情况是，你有没有把大拇指插到这个口袋里然后拔不出来的经历？哈哈，我们今天就来揭开这个谜底。

It's a watch pocket, originally for men who wore pocket watches and needed a protective place to store them. Though, as Levi's points out, the pocket has also served many other purposes over time, from condom storage to coin hoarding¹.

Faaahbulous!

The burning question arose last week after curious minds re-discovered a Quora thread in which users have discussed this mysterious fifth pocket for years.

The Levi Strauss blog confirms their conclusion: "The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket. This extra pouch² has served many functions... condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket, to name a few."

The pocket appears on the oldest pair of jeans in the Levi's archives, which date to about 1879, Levi's historian³ Tracey Panek told HuffPost.
