Cool pot, somewhere to keep flask? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hip pocket

'somewhere to keep flask?' is the definition.

'cool pot' is the wordplay.
'cool' becomes 'hip'.
'pot' becomes 'pocket' (I've seen this before**).
'hip'+'pocket'='HIP-POCKET'

(Other definitions for hip pocket that I've seen before include "this found in one's trousers" , "pouch for personal keys?" , "Wallet depository?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
