old-fashionedly
Like bygone era folk
In an old-fashioned manner—with adherence to traditional customs, styles, or values that have fallen out of common practice: She old-fashionedly insisted on writing thank-you notes by hand.
The adverb is rare and sounds somewhat awkward; speakers typically prefer in an old-fashioned way.
