How to layered armor

Title, someone said you have to craft/upgrade "high tier" version of said armor I want - so example if I want the the Xu Wu armor would I have to upgrade it to max tier or something?

u need to complete story to get HR, its a completely seperate tier of armor

When you craft armor there are two tabs to choose from at the top of the screen. Low tier and High tier. You need to craft any high tier armor to be able to use it as a layered option, you don't need to upgrade it,

Once you unlock High Rank armour all you need is to craft the armour of the look you want. No need to further upgrade them.

You just need to make High Rank armour. If you have not unlocked it yet, you will later on with story progression.

You unlock Layered Armor by crafting any piece of "High Rank" armor which is an entirely separate kind of armor that unlocks after you've beaten the story and seen the credits.

Once it's unlocked the smith will have two completely different tabs of armor you can craft: Low Rank (LR) and High Rank (HR). If you don't have two tabs of armor, then you only have access to LR armor and cannot unlock layered armor yet.

The Layered version of armor is unlocked after crafting ANY piece of HR armor. You don't need to upgrade the armor or anything to unlock the layered version. You may then go into your tent, select the menu option ALL the way to the right and apply layered armor via the "Equipment Appearance" menu.
