Bit of a poser, generally, in material terms? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serge

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

'material terms?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'bit of a poser generally in' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SERGE' is hidden within 'poser generally in'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serge that I've seen before include "Material to suit" , "Twilled woollen fabric" , "Frenchman" , "Stuff" , "Durable fabric" .)
