Personally, I handle the "wearing one-of-a-kind Job gear ICly" issue like this: they're either wearing a replica, or something that just happens to look kind of similar. Easy!
Do I wear my WHM robe on Astrid? You betcha! I worked hard to get her butt to 50 so of course I'm wearin' it! But she does not call it an official White Mage robe, or claim it was passed down to her from somebody, or anything else like that. She won't even call it a Conjurer's robe. I've demoted it down to something as mundane as possible.
It's just a nice coat she wears for chilly weather. It's white with red accents and has a hood. That's it.
ICly, I keep things as simple as that. Whether it looks just like the actual WHM robe or not is something I leave up to the RPer, but I keep my emotes about it (if any) intentionally short and vague.
