If Gollum can have one in his loincloth, surely a troll can, too. The trolls have sacks, too -- basically, extra large pockets for stashing things that they want to eat (like Dwarves). 
I can only think of one portion of a loincloth large enough to have a pocket on it (or in it). Or, as Rudyard Kipling said of Gunga Din's loincloth:
"The uniform he wore
Was nothing much before,
And little less than harf o' that behind."
Are you saying that Bilbo attempted to pick a pocket there? Not an appetizing mental image! On the other hand, it shows Bilbo as a lot braver than I would have expected that early in the story! And the troll especially dense for not noticing!
Life is beautiful and dangerous! Beware! Enjoy!
