Let me help you younguns. Its a watch pocket. Back in the day when jeans were invented men had pocket watches,
- You can’t possibly be old enough to remember that
  
  No, but I'm old enough to remember my granddad called it and have the railroad watch he used to carry there. He was an engineer and the trains ran on time. Interesting how long the design lasted.
- No, it's a pocket for Kevin.
Ravioli, ravioli

What's in the pocketoli
I was always told it was for condoms but I have 4 kids so I wouldn’t know
- Man your wife's boyfriend is fertile
  
  Virile
It's a watch pocket; in case anybody was wondering the actual answer. Pocket.. watch... watch pocket...
- Slow down, I'm not following
  
  Shove a clock in your pants!
- Nah its for iPod Nano
Guitar picks, little known fact!
In Germany we need coins to unlock supermarket carts, so I use the coin pocket for it's intended purpose to house my one coin.
- I thought it was meant to be a pocket watch pocket?
  
  Now I store my plastic cards in there.
  
  Pretty sure it started as a watch pocket.
  
  It turned into a "coin" pocket when pocket watches went out of fashion and people didn't know what else to use them for.
Airpods!
- THIS
Kevin keeps stealing my fucking ravioli tho
- He's a hungry lil guy
  
  Kevin is a ravenous ravioloi beast whose foodlust shall not be slaked.
Wireless earbuds case fits in there for me, when Kevin isn't there.
- How does that fit in there? I feel like whenever my pants have a coin pocket, they can only fit a singular penny or one stamp. I could probably also put a singular earbud in there, but imagining the entire case in there is wild to me.
  
  My Guess jeans can actually fit an entire Leatherman multitool in that 'tiny' pocket. I think that's pretty damn cool, 10/10 would recommend Guess jeans. 👍
  
  Pall Mall Commander 3.0 pants and the Pixel Buds A is my setup.
iPod Nano
Image Transcription:

Text at the top reads: what is that small jean pocket actually for The first image shows a hand pointing downwards and to the right and the text underneath "a safe place for my finger to hide", the finger has a label reading "he is so nervous" The second image shows a ravioli square and the text "ravioli" underneath The third image shows a naked, balding grey-haired man with a mustache, waving and smiling from his place inside the aforementioned pocket and the text "a home for kevin"

- Are we doing "good human" here or are we eschewing that as a "reddit thing"?
  
  Do what you like. I don't care.
  
  I've received a few "good human"s, it seems to be pretty much whatever you like. I don't know why one person took offense at your question though.

Chris (Simpsons Artist) is the best!
- I love his stuff, but I also get that it's not for everyone.
  
  Why not? Everyone likes ravioli.
  
  Do you know the name of this comic? Found it once but have never had luck since.
Fits my folding knife perfectly
In literally every pair of pants I have, I use that to store a hair elastic or two. Then whenever I need my hair up (eg, eating and hair would get in the way), I have one easily on hand.
Zippo
- Watch out with that, I did it for years but eventually had to stop because I got sore skin from the gasoline in the Zippo. And I quit smoking so didn't need it any more 🙂
  
  Your second mistake was filling your zippo with gasoline
It is literally called a "coin pocket". smh
- “The small pocket in jeans, often referred to as the "watch pocket" or "coin pocket," was originally designed to hold pocket watches. Nowadays, it's commonly used for carrying small items like coins, keys, or other small objects.”
  
  Glad to see at least someone knows their historical facts. Pocket watch pocket indeed.
  
  How many people using pocket watches have you come across this year?
  
  Maybe we should bring that back! I never liked wrist watches.
Key fob for keyless entry to my car.
Filthy Frank approves Ravioli
Oh look. It's Jim Pickens.
Hah, just the other day I realized the 'tiny' pocket on my Guess jeans is actually large enough to easily hold an entire Leatherman multitool!

Lucky me, now that I know they make their mini pockets that big, I'll probably make sure to go for Guess jeans in the future next time I go clothes shopping 👍
- Actually useful advice. I love my Leatherman, both in the rugged multitools and Folsom senses.
  
  I've actually got a Gerber multitool, but I figured people would more readily recognize the Leatherman name brand and not be thinking "What the fuck, this dude keeps baby food in his pocket?" 😂🤣
  
  Same difference in size though, same size as a Leatherman.
It's where your keyfob goes.
I keep a multi tool in there
Earbud case. Can bust them out and drown out some screaming children in seconds.
It's also great for knives and flashlights
- You are going to hurt kevin
  
  Without the flashlight, it's too dark for Kevin.
How the hell do you fit a ravioli in there without squashing the ravioli?
- Ravioli
  
  Give me the formuoli
You cut your ravioli too small
A half used carpenters pencil is what mine finds itself being used for most often. New ones stab my side and if they're too short they just get lost in there.
- Gut a piece of electric wire and use the insulation as an extension so it'll still stick out from your pocket. That's what I've always done
I keep my TWS Bluetooth case or motorcycle keys in my coin pocket
Mask pocket
- Jeans were ahead of their time
Things you don't want falling out when you dig into your pockets. I keep change there, or my bus pass, or even a zippo if you smoke
- I left Kevin in once and he was PISSED
My entrance card from work fits perfectly in there with it's little plastic housing.
It's obviously for your lighter.
