Material content of static repetition (5)

I believe the answer is:

crepe

'material' is the definition.
(I know that crepe is a type of material)

'content of static repetition' is the wordplay.
'content of' indicates a hidden word.
'CREPE' is hidden in the letters of 'static repetition'.

(Other definitions for crepe that I've seen before include "Light fabric; pancake" , "Crinkly paper" , "One fabric" , "Thin wrinkled fabric" , "Soft thin fabric with a crinkled surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
