[PW] Jeans and Pockets

[Chris Corston]

I have a pocket style watch that has a carabiner clip rather than the 
traditional chain - meant to hang it on one's belt loop when gardening. I 
find it tends to swing out and hit shovel handles and the like, so I  use 
the fifth pocket on my gardening jeans to keep the watch from dangling and 
getting damaged.
