Black lion skins
It will, but you’ll have to spend a transmutation charge for every use beyond the first one.
Short answer: buying it doesn’t automatically unlock the skin; you have to use the skin (either by consuming it directly or applying it to an existing weapon)
Longer answer:
When you buy it off the TP, you have two primary options:
- Store it in the wardrobe — that consumes the item, unlocks the skin.
- Apply it to an existing weapon — the item is consumed in place of a transmute charge & it unlocks the skin.
(There’s more than one way to apply it to an existing weapon, but the easiest is probably to have it in your inventory when you use the wardrobe subpanel of your Hero panel.)

You’ll get a 1-time use skin which can be applied to any matching weapon without using a transmutation charge.
When you use it the skin will also be unlocked in your wardrobe which will allow you to use it as many times as you like, but you’ll have to use a transmutation charge.
(It’s exactly the same if you get it directly from a chest – the skin isn’t unlocked in the wardrobe until you apply it the first time, or choose to save it in the wardrobe – basically they want to make sure you can’t unlock it in your wardrobe and then sell it on.)

Unless, of course, when acquiring a skin from a Black Lion Chest it is from the Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. In that case, it is automatically unlocked, and you must use a Transmutation Charge to use the skin, even the very first time.
Good luck.
