There are many details that we can see every day, but do not think about their origin and meaning. In this article, we will consider not only the definition of a pocket, but also learn its history.
You should first know what this product is. Several definitions can be distinguished. So, the dictionary states that this is a piece of clothing, presented in the form of a bag for carrying small things, a scarf, money. It can be directly sewn in or sewn onto trousers, coats and so on. In addition, in appearance it usually looks like a quadrangular container. 
The history of the pocket
The appearance itself occurs in the last third of the seventeenth century. Therefore, it cannot be said that the described hole is ancient. So, for the first time it can be seen as a bag in which coins were placed. However, it was not sewn directly to the main item. Used as an addition to a woman's belt under a skirt. For men, the notch was attached over the pants.But to ensure accessibility, special cuts were created.
ATTENTION! The pocket became an independent thing under Louis the Fourteenth.
If we delve into the past, it makes sense to mention the fifteenth century, when the described item was considered a women's accessory for a full-fledged costume. Most often the material used was flax. The top was decorated with decorative inserts, multi-colored embroidery, and stitching.
For more noble families, velvet or satin were used - expensive fabrics. After the use of this product extended to men, women began to develop the creation and use of bags. Even then, an important element of the reticule was intended for storing small items.
In modern times, sewing sections into everyday style gradually became fashionable. And hinged recesses were preferred exclusively by the elderly population, thereby showing society an infusion of traditional views. In the modern world, you can notice the presence of most things, as sometimes it is considered an integral part.
