when slain by a hostile mob capable of picking up and equipping player gear, the mob will immediately attempt to pick up all possible gear as intended, however, seemingly at random, certain pieces will get picked up but not be added to the mob’s inventory, resulting in the gear disappearing. it will not be dropped on the mob’s death, and will not be visibly equipped to the mob, unlike gear it successfully picks up. After some testing, this can seemingly happen with any gear they are capable of picking up, and as stated there is no discernable pattern to what will/won’t disappear and what will/won’t be equipped properly, but it will nearly always happen to at least 1 piece of gear.

the example provided uses piglins however it has also happened with other hostile mobs such as skeletons and zombies.
