Very well-put-together piece. But It doesn't say very much about Connery's suits, and I would hardly describe his suits as slim. They certainly aren't slim by today's standards, with a draped chest and pleated trousers. Apart from the hacking jacket and houndstooth check suit in Goldfinger, Connery's jackets didn't have slanted pockets until the 1970s (which is irrelevant to an article focusing on 1960s spies), so I'd hardly say slanted pockets are part of Connery's look. The image they use is of one of the modern Anthony Sinclair suits, which has been updated from Connery's to have a cleaner cut and slanted pockets.
