The Mystic set cannot be upgraded; see the Mystic set. Koltin’s Fabric is a paraglider fabric.

Whether the five monster masks really let you blend in is covered on jewelry and monster masks.

Where do I find Koltin?

Koltin and Kilton stand by their balloon near Woodland Stable, at Pico Pond (Show on map). Talking to Kilton starts The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!, and Pico Pond Cave next to them has a Bubbulfrog for your first gem. After that Koltin travels: Kilton, who moves to Tarrey Town, tells you where he is, and he can also turn up anywhere after 9 pm. The quest log puts it this way: Koltin “is traveling around Hyrule at night with his stall seeking out Bubbul gems”.
