Depends on the job gear.
Armoire's a weird inventory that's used to store gear that can be tracked on the character, usually via achievements gained from quests. I cannot at all recall how the 60 job gear is granted, tho, so that particular aspect might not apply. The other thing that typically makes gear suited for Armoire is that it is otherwise impossible to re-obtain. There are no other sources of the ARR job gear, while the HW job gear can be repurchased with Centurio Seals.
Basically Armoire shouldn't be considered any sort of reliably consistent inventory storage for anything other than most seasonal event gear.
The Armoir is essentially reserved slots for specific peices of gear, it has exactly the capacity for those peices only. And that gear is typically things you can't re-acquire.
From HW onward, you're able to reclaim or repurchase job gear, so it doesn't need to add capacity to the Armoir. You can throw it, then reclaim it if you need it again.
You can actually not reclaim HW job gear, because it is acquired through poetics and can be turned in for company seals.
You can really only get job gear from the salvager that was gained through quests, because those can not be repeated to reacquire it.
It's unnecessarily confusing tbh, but not too big of a deal so it's probably at the bottom of their priority list.
If gear can't go in the Armoire, then read if it says "Shop Selling Price". This means that an NPC sells it. If you got it from a quest (such as job gear), this usually means the Calamity Salvager sells it for 1,000 gil, so you can safely delete it.
Most other gear can obtained again as well. Loot can be looted again. High-quality or crafted gear can be bought or crafted. Tomestone gear can be obtained from tomestone or hunt NPCs. There is very little that you can't get again somehow if deleted and what can't you usually can put in the Armoire. Rarely there has been gear you can't get again that also won't go in the Armoire, but now you can put that in the Glamour Dresser.
Heavensward, the only expansion where they don't just give you the job gear. And where the first level cap dungeon drops no gear. No wonder they had to make Thordan such a pushover, nobody was geared.
Yes, I'm sure they can't change the programming of the armoire to be able to store job/class gear. There must be no possible way they can go back and tag gear as armoire compatible.
We are told we can play every role on one character but there aren't enough glamour plates, for each job, and there's not enough glamour dresser space, to fit all the lvl 1 glam items, as well as scrip, tomestone, dungeon/raid, crafted, for all the jobs/classes that we can level.
I would also like it if you could store the LV60+ AF in the armoire. And the garo gear, and anything you can buy again from the calamity salvager. One can dream, right?
Originally I think they said the armoire only had 256 (!) slots or something. Somehow they expanded it. Going forward, all mog station gear will be storable in the armoire at least (and that includes old event gear.)
800 glamour dresser slots is currently almost enough for all of my tome gear. ;)
Of course it would be even better to have a glamour closet/wardrobe that automatically contained all gear you had ever bound to your character.
But the glamour dresser would still be useful for dyed customizations.
