I think the material was used for the conceptual reason, representing one of the phase changes,
the transition between glassy state and rubber state,
the coat and blouson in fiberglass that there is potentially in the reversed/opposite direction of DIP-R series, of course in a figurative sense though.
one form and another,
to illustrate the disparate phases of a substance and that they are the selfsame thing no matter how different they appear.

Carol Christian Poell – Back raglan, high neck lined coat
Color: Black
Fabric: ‘TAR’
40% Cotton, 40% Poly, 20% Viscose
so it means it looks like TAR or ?

Of course I don't know in how far the fabric names are based on some kind of links, jokes or quotes etc. or anything else in that direction.
I also don't know what TAR means... I think crouka/runner could surely give some kind of interesting input on the choice of fabric names based on the past collections of Poell. However I guess nobody really knows exactly how he chooses his fabric names.

i talked with Sergio once about where these names come from and he said Carol personally names them all. sometimes the references are obvious (especially if you speak German) sometimes he said he has no idea where they come from . . . and that sometimes he is not so sure even Carol does.

I see masochism in the cut and proportions sometimes; not always, of course.
The cut of the coat seems proportional/non-distorting. File it under materials.
