I issued the outfit command and got outfitted with fine leather leggings despite having been wearing black leather leggings. I also failed the academy quest so it shouldn't be fine anyway.

I also noticed that the corded, griffon-maned whip. I was carrying disappeared too. I have a suspicion but I would like to make sure that
the disappearance is legitimate and not a bug.

The following is the log that made me realize I'm missing my black leather leggings:

You pull the fine leather leggings on, and marvel at their comfort.
You have been equipped by the gods.
