I guess I assumed you put that little circle and string there on purpose.  Cowhands who smoked used little sacks of Bull Durham tobacco and some papers.  Usually kept it on the right shirt pocket, just like you tooled it in.   If that isn't a sack with the string, what is it supposed to be?  That little yellow circle was on every sack of Bull Durham.  I have some sacks here in my tool box, they contain gem quality beryl from when I was mining.

Ok didn't know about dip cans in the shirt pocket, everyone I knew in Alabama had circle marks in their back pocket of the jeans. Like people have with cell phones. When you Durham it should have rang a bell I have tobacco fields across the road, and to many fields around to count. My wife took this in 2015 across the road of the tobacco being harvested.

It's not a can, it's a small cloth sack of smoking tobacco, like it says on the label.

Ran into a problem with my notebook. The front and back covers are supple and wouldn't slide back in the pocket slots properly when closed. Thought of adding stiffeners to them, but the back of notebook was not held to the spine like what was wanted. The signatures are held in by the lace, why not use them and affix mounting points to tie it in. Took some of the lining leather glued and folded it on itself then set some grommets. Sewed them down then laced it in, now it stays better. Still some slack due to the lacing material used in securing the signatures.

 

Thought this might help others.
