The Fifth Pocket On Your Jeans

You may have noticed that a lot of denim jeans come with a tiny extra pocket on the side known as the fifth pocket. Jeans were the pants of choice for gold miners in California in the mid-1800s, and one of the most important items they kept on them was their pocket watch, which was generally delicate and spendy.
The fifth pocket was designed to protect their expensive pocket watches by keeping it snugly and safely tucked into place.
