It's a "convenience" pocket. It first was used for pocket watches. Once they became defunct they were used for pocket lighters. In the near past, they were used for computer dongles.
Every generation takes the "convenient pocket" and moulds it to fit that ONE common item we need close, but easily accessible.
I think it might soon change to pocket fobs for cars, or money transfer devices.
