Do big manufacturers ever send samples/prototypes to distributors for internal use?

I'm trying to make sense of this jacket I've previously posted here, it seems to be a Supreme X Schott collaboration sample/one off from 2015. Supreme are protective over their brand so wouldn't allow something like this to be sold in the Schott factory sale.

So my question is, does anyone know if a big brand like Schott ever sends sample jackets/prototypes/one offs that can't be sold to the public to their (in this case European) distributors for internal/non retail use? One of the few things i know about the jacket is it went to a Swiss distributor called Starfashion SA in 2015.

If anyone who's worked in the industry/has industry knowledge could fill me in i will be eternally grateful.
