Actually, I did! Since I had to develop the patterns myself, I was reluctant to cut up expensive leather until I got it right. Also, not being very experienced, I wasn't sure how it would come out when sewing heavy material. So, I made a couple of test codpieces out of inexpensive denim first, until I had everything worked out.
But, you can actually buy jeans with a pouch...Check out
www.sportjeans.com. I have a pair of these, which are covered by US patent 5,678,250. (A drawing from the patent is above.) The pouch really isn't that big, and they are not all that well made, but they are different. The buttons on the exposed button fly started to come loose, so I replaced them with metal buttons, like inside the flap of Levis 501 jeans, to draw a bit more attention.
