Anybody know if this Norn Merchant armor is acquirable?

See this everywhere for Norn merchants and wouldn't mind finding it somewhere. This one named NPC is wearing it but the laurel merchant in the great lodge also has a version of it.

I don't think it's available. I can't log in to check right now, but I don't remember seeing it as an option for either armour or outfits.

Danikat's correct: that armor isn't available for players. Wish it was, because it's beautiful. 😞

There's a lot of really nice outfits which aren't available for players. I keep wishing Anet would let us have them but it hasn't happened. Some seem to be only available for one race and/or gender which might be why, but they could do something like the common clothing and wedding outfits which change completely based on the character that equips them. There might also be other technical reasons, or it might just be an aesthetic choice; apparently the developers of my other MMO have said they won't let players have some NPC clothing from launch because it's not good enough to meet their current standards for new skins, and the fact that players like it and know exactly what they'd be getting because they've seen it on the NPCs doesn't change the fact that they don't consider it acceptable to release. I could imagine Anet doing something similar, although I don't think they've said so.
