People are only now beginning to understand what the little pockets in jeans are for.

With the advent of  wristwatches  and later  mobile phones,  the pocket watch  gradually disappeared  . Yet this  little pouch remained . Why?  On the one hand  , to  preserve the original design of the jeans, an important element of  Levi’s identity .  On the other, because it  proved  practical  for storing  small everyday items  .

A development shaped by history

During  World War II,  jeans production had to  adapt to material constraints .  To save metal,  the  rivets reinforcing the corners of this pocket  were temporarily removed . However, after the war, they were reinstated. Even today, these  famous  rivets are part  of the DNA of Levi’s jeans  , testifying to a  centuries-old heritage .
