牛仔褲上的秘密口袋,你用對了嗎?

Ever wonder why there's a teeny-tiny pocket above the regular ones in the front of your jeans? Or, more likely, have you ever gotten your thumb stuck in there due to its teeny-tiny smallness? Well, wonder no longer.

有沒有想過，牛仔褲口袋上方的迷你口袋用途何在?或者，更有可能的情況是，你有沒有把大拇指插到這個口袋里然后拔不出來的經(jīng)歷?哈哈，我們今天就來揭開這個謎底。

It's a watch pocket, originally for men who wore pocket watches and needed a protective place to store them. Though, as Levi's points out, the pocket has also served many other purposes over time, from condom storage to coin hoarding.

這其實是一個表袋，最初是為有懷表的人設計的，懷表放在這里面剛剛好。不過，李維斯牛仔生產(chǎn)商也指出，這個口袋的功能多得很，放得了套套，也囤得下硬幣。

Faaahbulous!

棒呆了啊!

The burning question arose last week after curious minds re-discovered a Quora thread in which users have discussed this mysterious fifth pocket for years.

上周，一些好奇人士挖出了問答網(wǎng)上詢問牛仔褲第五個口袋用途的帖子，于是這個被討論了多年的話題再次沸騰起來。

The Levi Strauss blog confirms their conclusion: "The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket. This extra pouch has served many functions... condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket, to name a few."

李維斯創(chuàng)始人李維·史特勞斯在博客中給出了最終答案：“最開始的藍色牛仔褲有四個口袋，背面一個，前面兩個，外加一個迷你表袋。這個小口袋功能強大，能裝的東西可不少，比如避孕套、硬幣、火柴、票據(jù)等等。”

The pocket appears on the oldest pair of jeans in the Levi's archives, which date to about 1879, Levi's historian Tracey Panek told HuffPost.

研究李維斯的歷史學家特雷西·帕內(nèi)克告訴《赫芬頓郵報》，檔案顯示，李維斯生產(chǎn)的第一條牛仔褲上就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了迷你表袋，能追溯到大約1879年。
