watch pocket

[griz]

One if my co-workers just "discovered" a special little jeans pocket for a USB drive.  Pretty pleased about it actually.  Any of you codgers ever put a watch in there?

[Thor]

I was always taught that it was a coin pocket........

[onions!]

Tried to carry a pocket watch in my Levis when I was in my early twenties.My pocket watch didn't fit in my watch pocket.Too small.

[Mabs2]

Is that what they're called?
I always thought watch pockets were tiny pocket watch sized pockets for watches that resided on the lower left or right of a person's vest or coat.
Never really knew they had a specific purpose.  I always keep a cheap lighter in mine.
Never know when a man'll need to set something ablaze.

Now and thenand that's "old codger" to you, thanks all the same.

I always was taught the little pocket was for a pocket watch.
I finally put one in there when I was about 14.I tried to lift something heavy and
rested it on my hip and broke my watch!
Carpenter overalls have a watch pocket in the chest pocket.

Hmmm...all this time I thought they were designed to hold speed strips?

When I was a teenager I kept .22LR shells in there while squirrel hunting.

Not I, the odd USB drive though.  I've friend who DOES keep his watch there.  I'll have to remember to call him an old codger next time I see him, despite my being several years his elder.

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

Yeah, I keep my pocket watch in there, on those fairly frequent occasions when I wear one. Other times I keep an asprin tin (remember those?) with my meds in it. Fits perfectly.  I picked up a pair of 'Brand X' jeans a few months ago and was surprised to discover they disincluded the pocket on my pair. Never again.

I thought it was where you put emergency backup cash so you had something left after a night out on the town with your girl drained you of all the funds she could easily find.

It's a good place to keep earplugs while jeeping just incase you need to stop and shoot at squeaks with a caliber beyond the 22LR, like a .45, 10mm or what not.

You're aware that most mechanics recommend oil, not lead, for vehicle squeaks, right? 

[Bogie]

I've got one pair of pants where the darn thing is big enough for a Kel-tec...

[grampster]

Yep.  Used to carry my grandpap's white gold octagon Elgin watch in that pocket.
Wool winter issue trousers I wore when on the PD had a watch pocket as well.

Carebear, lead USED to be used as a lubricant, especially in high heat situations.

[thebaldguy]

Watch pocket? I've used it for change, Zippo lighters/mini Bic lighters, and even a knife. The watch pocket sizes seem to vary quite a bit from brand to brand.

[Paddy]

Never use it.

[Bob F.]

Speed-strip fits nicely, and it's on the right (proper) side to feed the Speed-six or SP!

Stay safe.

Oh, and my Tomcat .32 fits just fine in the watch pocket of the jeans I buy from LL Bean.

[Tallpine]

good place to break a watch, unless you are just standing around watching others work 

[BrokenPaw]

My Leatherman Wave fits nicely in the watch pocket on my jeans.  It's there now.

Sheet metal screws, wire nuts...  Keep telling mama she must always check it before doing the laundry lest she suck up a screw in the new washer. She says it's not her problem, I says it will be when the washer sucks up a screw!

[atomd]

It won't fit my pocket watch. It won't fit my leatherman. It won't fit much at all actually. I think I've put a few quarters in there when they are knocking against other things in my pocket but that's about it.

[Perd Hapley]

I used to keep my keys in there, when my key ring was smaller.
