Maybe it'd be wise to check the history of Schott and the difference between Schott and the outsourced European "Schott"
Those jackets are really crappy, they're made under license for the European market. Indeed best to steer away from those.
To me this already begs the question - do you want a jacket from a maker that has the kind of business model that is completely fine with producing cheap shit and sending it abroad?
Personally I don't want to jump over hoops to try to distinguish a good / real "Schott" for the ton of crap they produce.
I'd rather buy from a maker that takes pride in the things they make and only make good stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I do believe that there are incredible Schott jackets out there, especially from the older days. But considering what Schott CURRENTLY is, I would not want to deal with them or buy anything from them.
So in terms of Schott - only used would be an option.
