Alpine Swiss is a great brand of wallet.  This is a great product, nice leather, and my husband really likes a wallet with a zipper.  I have to say, from the safety side, the zipper does relieve a lot of concern of things falling out or even pick pocketing.  If anyone is sometimes careless and doesn't notice things falling out of a wallet, this is a great gift for them!  The price is fantastic, I bought an Alpine Swiss a couple years ago from some other place and paid twice what this one is -- he doesn't need it now, but I couldn't resist the deal!
