You should be aware that not all blackmisths are able to craft all levels of witcher gear. I can't remember the exact terms, but only a master blacksmith can craft master-level swords, say. And there's only one such person in the base game, excluding DLCs. I don't recall whether the game will prompt you that the smith you're currently interacting with is too low a level to craft the version of the gear you want.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Nvm, I re-read your original post and please ignore my post above.
Have you tried re-crafting the basic equipment again?
Yeah... I have tried to recraft the original basic gear. The game will not give me that option when I pull up the crafting menu through any of the Armor or Blacksmith merchants. And I've gone to several different smiths including both Journeyman and master smiths. When I do, the original basic gear or diagrams do not show in the crafting menu. Only the upgrades show with the basic gear missing from them.
