    Custom pocket watch PK

    This is my first (and so far, unfortunatly, only) PK, heavy twill. I haven't worn a wristwatch in almost ten years, and when I buy jeans one of the criteria is that it have a watch pocket that will fit my largest watch comfortably (something some brands don't do!) With my UK Workman's there's no conveniant place to put my watch, and with the Mocker it can bang around with whatever else is in my pocket. So when I got my PK I decided I wanted a real watch pocket. Jeff was very helpfull in designing it (I originally wanted a patch pocket, but this is much better), and it can easily fit my biggest watch without having to tug on it to get it out (which can pop off the chain ring.)

    Just an aside, I made both the belt and the watch chain. Belt is galvanized steel and the watch chain is stainless. Chainmaille is one of my favorite hobbies (and a small side business). I need to lengthen the belt a bit, though, so the part that's tucked under and hangs over the top is a bit longer.
