Winter weather has arrived. Being fashionable in this season means sporting classic winter coats. The pea coat is a classic, that is both traditional and always alluring.
Like most popular men’s fashion, the pea coat’s saga can be linked back to military origins.

From the Mercedes Simplex to the E Series, Mercedes vehicles are, and have always been, sought-after vehicles. Mercedes has been known for their cars since 1871, when the company was founded in Stuttgart, Germany.
The company crafted its first car in 1886, and in 1901 the original Mercedes was released for public consumption.
The Mercedes Simplex, technically the third vehicle they ever created, was first produced in 1902 and again in 1909 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. Wilhelm Maybach was the designer of the Mercedes Simplex, which offered more engine performance and more stability than previous vehicles.
