(Fun fact. it’s a hold over from pocket watches. you’d have a chain going to your belt loop or a vest pocket, then you could put the- usually expensive- pocket watch into it’s dedicated pocket the chain- aka fob- was there to make it easy to get out. Eventually, people started showing off by attaching pendants to the fob, and eventually, that’s what we call a fob today.)
I find it useful to carry small things that are important.
- a single house key
- $5 worth of coins for parking
- a small picture of Gowron
- The world’s tiniest mek’leth
Sure.
I’m guessing you’re not using it for a pocket watch so anything goes!
My understanding is that wrist watches, at least for men, did not start to gain popularity until World War I when soldiers began improving straps to attach their pocket watches to their wrists.
It was the first boer war that demonstrated the importance of watches, women were actually the first to adopt them for a while (mid 1880’s) since they didn’t have pockets.
The wristwatch being used by military men became increasingly common; with watch makers starting with pocket watches in adapted casings before designing smaller movements and dedicated casings.
By the time of ww1, they were common enough and mass produced enough to issue to everyone, making it a common thing.
Good to know!
Man when I was growing up my dad told me it was for a quarter in case I needed the pay phone and I never questioned it.
I keep a 58mm Swiss Army knife in the small pocket of my jeans (the “key chain” size).
Oh. I thought it has always been for what it’s used for today: drugs.
Here I was thinking it was for your lighter lmao.
Well, whatever works, lols.
People have put all sorts of things into them.
…the GLORY hole…
Kahless would expect no less from a TRUE warrior.
If you’ve got one of those in your glory pocket your little Gowron might fall out 😭 .
Just don’t forget and leave him in there during washing. There is no glory is being soggy.
I got gowron tattooed on my ass. There’s no glory in being saggy either, but that’s what he is
Well that’s my problem, I thought it was for Gowan
I put my earphones there and keys in the bigger pocket.
