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 don't understand how one could define the other.

'bit of a poser generally in' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'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" .)
