If you have a pair of jeans, you’ve probably spotted the small pocket sewn inside the front right pocket. Known as the “watch pocket” or “coin pocket,” this little feature has been around since Levi Strauss introduced it in the late 1800s. But here’s the question many people ask: is this pocket different in men’s and women’s jeans?
Size and Depth Differences
The most remarkable distinction lies in the size of the pocket.
Men’s jeans typically have a larger, deeper tiny pocket. This is consistent with the overall design of men’s jeans, which feature more spacious main pockets as well. The extra room allows the small pocket to be practical for carrying coins, keys, or even modern items like wireless earbuds.
Women’s jeans, on the other hand, tend to have much smaller and shallower tiny pockets. Since women’s jeans are often created with a slim fit and a tighter silhouette, the pockets are reduced to maintain the sleek shape. For this reason, many women find the tiny pocket less functional and more decorative.
