Profiting from popular compact (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in pocket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'profiting' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'popular compact' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'compact' becomes 'pocket' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in'+'pocket'='IN POCKET'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in pocket that I've seen before include "ahead financially" , "Richer after deal" , "Where skilful potter gets" , "made a profit" , "Showing a profit" .)
