(And How to Make the Most of It)
The Untold Story of the Fifth Pocket: Why Your Jeans Have a Tiny Space for Greatness
The fifth pocket on your jeans has been a part of history for nearly 150 years. Originally introduced by Levi Strauss & Co. in 1873 as a convenient spot for pocket watches, this tiny addition served a practical purpose during a time when pocket watches were an essential accessory. The classic Levi’s® design started with four pockets—two in the front, one small pocket within the right front pocket and one in the back. It wasn’t until 1901 that jeans received their second back pocket, establishing the five-pocket jean we know today.
Over the years, the fifth pocket has become a symbol of craftsmanship, utility and timeless style. Though modern life no longer requires a space for pocket watches, this little compartment has evolved to carry other small essentials, such as coins, keys and—most notably—compact writing tools.
