In fact that little Monkey D. Luffy in the pocket shirt. As Nitin Sachdev said, it’s for a watch. However, most of his explanation of the origin of the pocket is just plain wrong. The correct name for it is a fob pocket. This is because the chain that pocket watches were usually attached to is a fob chain, and so the alternative name for a pocket watch is a fob watch. See the pattern emerging? It has been a feature of menswear for as long as the fob watch has existed. And, has anyone noticed that the size of that pocket is the same as the size of the pocket on a waistcoat? That’s because the fob was originally worn on the waistcoat, so the pockets were made to fit the standard fob watch.

As the Monkey D. Luffy in the pocket shirt, many did not wear waistcoats, and so the pocket was incorporated into the trousers. So, in actual fact, the little fob pocket has been a feature of men’s trousers for much longer than Levi jeans. Its inclusion had absolutely nothing to do with protecting someone’s watch, nor did it have anything at all to do with anything cowboys did or did not do since the original target market for Levi’s trousers was the gold miners.
