      @trail:

      ok, next one:

      obviously it's a kind of jacket or coat, but what king of?

      Holy grail @trail and arrow !
      I definitely need a hint.
      Sacrum Imperium Romanum? Sachse , Salinger , Staufer?
      King or emperor?
      ::)
      Or is it the coat from  Henri II. Court-manteau (Curtmantle) King of England (1154-1189) 😉

            Kind of material?
            The seal and whale intestines. The Inuit style of Gtex. Thanks @Snowy

            But what king of?……..The King in Thule  😉

            There was a king in Thule,
            Was faithful till the grave,
            To whom his mistress, dying,
            A golden goblet gave.

            Nought was to him more precious;
            He drained it at every bout;
            His eyes with tears ran over,
            As oft as he drank thereout.

            When came his time of dying,
            The towns in his land he told,
            Nought else to his heir denying
            Except the goblet of gold.

            He sat at the royal banquet
            With his knights of high degree,
            In the lofty hall of his father
            In the castle by the sea.

            There stood the old carouser,
            And drank the last life-glow;
            And hurled the hallowed goblet
            Into the tide below.

            He saw it plunging and filling,
            And sinking deep in the sea:
            Then fell his eyelids for ever,
            And never more drank he!

            Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written in 1774

              😉

              Hunting by spear on the open ocean from kayaks in some of the worst weather on Earth, the Inuits had to be serious about staying dry. And, they found a waterpoof, yet air-permeable material to dress in — seal and whale intestines. Just like inside your guts, these animals need their stomachs to hold liquids in while allowing nutrients to be absorbed into their bodies.

              That’s basically the same idea as Gore-Tex — you stay drier if the material not only keeps rain out, but allows sweat vapour to escape. And the similarities with modern technology didn’t stop there. The inuits made glue from rendered bones to connect and seal the seams between the tissues.

              This method resulted in very effective garments. The inuits tested them by filling them with water and making sure nothing leaked. They were also thin and light. So thin, in fact, that the garments were see-through.

                    what i , the effin dyslexic, meant was "kind of" not "king of", sorry.
                    but it led us to the >> The King in Thule << ,
                    which is a good thing.

                        Nice one @Snowy .
                        The black o-ring; is it a kind of plug?
                        But what about this recess on the left side.
                        And if this is standing on a Fire King mug box, it must be pony.

                          Nope, not a plug of any kind (I'll rule it out all together. I was waiting for @Seul to have a guess along those lines, but sometimes it's a little too easy I guess).

                                      Nope gents. I picked it up in Japan due to it's unique look. It's oddly practical for what it is, and meets the Japanese aesthetic of pure simplicity and function head on.

                                      There's a hint in there. It's not in lingo/word play either. It's useful.
