There was a time when the watch was worn at the end of a chain, hanging from the front of the waistcoat. The laborers were the first to ask themselves the question of the storage of the tocante, without a waistcoat. From the invention of jeans around 1870, a gusset pocket located at the entrance of the right pocket was provided for this purpose. Yes, this little pocket was used for that or a lighter pocket. On dress pants, tailors have also positioned such storage on the right, sometimes on the left among the Italians. The gusset pocket is located just under the waistband, hidden in the seam itself. Its dimensions are approximately 7 cm opening and the depth of a credit card. When you want to go out light, this is the ideal place to place it.

Lacoste still likes to offer it on its chinos.
Note that few gentlemen today place a pocket watch in their pants.
