Car Keys and Small Change Day is observed annually on February 28, celebrating the often-overlooked pockets in clothing where items like car keys and small change are stored. This day highlights the significance of pockets, which have a rich history dating back to 3300 B.C. when Ötzi, the Iceman, wore a belt with a pouch. The term "pocket" originates from the old French word "pouque," and over the centuries, pockets evolved from removable pouches to integral parts of clothing. Initially, pockets were sewn into men's clothing in the 17th century, while women continued to use concealed pouches until the 1920s when pockets became more common in women's fashion. Today, pockets are essential in various garments, including trousers, skirts, and dresses, serving both functional and stylistic purposes.
