    > The two-button jacket should never have both buttons fastened. Sorry, why put two buttons on the jacket then?
    • dehugger 3y ago
      Because if there was only one button then you couldn't leave the lowest one undone, which is the style. Therefore, two are required.

      You know the little pocket within a pocket that most jeans have, in this future year of 2023? It's for a _pocket watch_, originally. Fashion tends to lead to vestigial details hanging around more or less indefinitely.

        Funnily enough I've always heard that referred to as a "coin pocket", but since I live in a country that has barely used cash for the last 10+ years I thought this was very anachronistic and started putting my keys in there.

          I used to think it was for (old, zippo-style) lighters. But nah, apparently it started off life as somewhere to put a pocket watch.

        You mean the Airpods pocket?
    • kyorochan 3y ago
      People (arguably) don't do it because it looks better, but to signal that they are in the know about fashion.
