This used to be called a "watch pocket" - people put their watches here to keep therm safe. It has got smaller with time, and is now called the "coin" pocket.
Zip or buttons
The first pair of jeans had a button-fly. In 1954, Levi's made its first pair of jeans with a zip.

INTERNET FORUM
Hi
My
name’s Núria Jaén and I live in the south of England. I like the
area where I live, so I want to improve it.
In
my opinion young people spend all their time hanging around on the
street. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. As
a result, there isn’t anywhere for young people to go and there
aren’t any facilities for them.
I
think the council should do something about this. I’m sure they
must have a some land which local people can use for a youth café.
