So I got the armor, used it before I got a Chocobo, and now it's missing. Before people say 'look in the companion menu', I KNOW where barding is equipped and all I have is the default Chocobo armor that comes with.

I haven't got the item anywhere in my inventory, I know I haven't sold it (that would be dumb and idek if you CAN), and I do remember 'using' it at an early level when I picked up all of my CE items.

Why has it now vanished? Can I get it back? :/
