In Monster Hunter Rise, you can get Layered Armor from DLCs, by scanning Amiibo, buying special editions of the game, forging some of them at the Smithy, and other such methods. 

If you scan the Magnamalo Amiibo, you will get its corresponding Layered Armor which you can add to your inventory by talking to the NPC Kagero the Merchant. 

Note: You must talk to Kagero to get Layered Armor or other items in-game after scanning their respective Amiibo. 

On the other hand, if you unlock a Layered Armor through a DLC or such options, you must talk to the NPC Senri to claim them.
