The old-fashioned fellows in the country (5)
I believe the answer is:
yemen
'the country' is the definition.
(Yemen is an example)
'the old-fashioned fellows' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fellows' could be 'men' (fellow can mean a man) and 'men' is present in the answer.
'the old' could be 'ye' (resembles a historical spelling of 'the') and 'ye' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Middle Eastern country" , "Enemy country in S Arabian peninsula" , "Arab state" , "Republic sited on the SW corner of Arabia" , "Middle East country" .)
