      That pocket is meant for change. It’s a change pocket. If it was deep it would defeat its purpose. Easy reach for change without digging through a huge pocket.ive had jeans with a larger change pocket and it drove me nuts.

      This afternoon I walked by a store and asked the owner what strange huge buckets with water they had in front of the store “it was meant for the horses of customers where the horses could drink while the owner did their groceries…”. But nobody rides their horses to the store any more, I replied. Good point was his reaction.

      All jokes aside after this crisis the last 2% (no offense) of the population that still uses change won’t use it anymore because before you know it cash will be a thing of the past. So the 5th needs reinvention.

        But iron heart does things classically. If the 5th pocket is a deal breaker for you then it’s a deal breaker.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          Allow me to retort…. it’s a pocket designed to give quick easy access to small things. Small things are still in use the world over. 4 other pockets to put your knife in.

              Yep, that is how I use mine too. Tight fit for my GAH zippo but works fine.

                        Probably not, I think they are larger on the work pants….Possible also a change in size depending upon the tag size...

                          From our new glossary that @neph93 has been working on for us…

                          The standard number of pockets found on a pair of jeans, introduced in 1922 by Levis Strauss & Co. 5-pocket jeans include two back pockets, two front pockets, and a coin (or watch) pocket, typically found in and above the right-hand front pocket. Contrary to popular belief, the fifth pocket is, in fact, one of the two back pockets, which was introduced in 1905 (the coin pocket appeared in 1890).

                            Posting that pic is fine.

                            The fifth pocket is one of the back pockets. Not the coin/watch pocket.

                            While IH are not a vintage/retro brand, their jeans retain a certain amount of authenticity and carry a lot of the dna from mid century jeans. That pocket was never intended for knife carrying and probably won’t be altered for that any time soon.

                            As G says, more technical, work styled bottoms  will have different pocket solutions than jeans.

                              Now that is what I love about forums you learn things, about the 5th pocket this time!

                              Besides not very practical I could easily call it character in a loving relationship with my 555’s.

                              I miss out some fading potential and that prob is what I pitty the most [emoji57](the blue Blood even has a sixth pocket, the fourth is for a pencil!):

                                  Thanks! Had it for years and I love it! Bought at the same time together with the Blue Bloods. Unfortunatly both got extinct wich is too bad imo.

                                    I keep my car key fob in my “coin pocket”. Works perfectly for that.

                                      I’m largely a work shirt fan but I’ve fallen for a few westerns so far and really value the ease of doing/undoing snaps. Wondering whether anyone else with a beard suffers annoying beard ‘pulls’ from the topmost snap (female half) when undone. I’ve noticed some westerns (13) have a button at the top. Is that the reason for it?

                                      For the westerns with snaps all the way up, perhaps a solution could be a small, removable but beautiful GAH male snap which one could use on different shirts as needed. Thus solving the beard snag glitch and simultaneously pimping the shirt? Sound useful?

                                      The journey is the objective.

                                        Love that you can hover over a product and see what's available with the different sizes.
                                        It saves that extra step of actually clicking on the image to go to the product page.
                                        Was wondering if it would also be possible to do that with the Seasonal or Continuous Production info.
                                        Even if it was say a big C or a big S in the upper right hand corner?
                                        I could tell at a glance if its an item I need to be quick about ( the seasonal stuff) or if I had time to buy if it were a Continuous item.

                                        Just an idea 🙂
