Unconventional lad, tho’ far from fashionable (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old hat

'far from fashionable' is the definition.

'unconventional lad tho'' is the wordplay.
'unconventional' is an anagram indicator.
'lad'+'tho'='ladtho'
'ladtho' is an anagram of 'OLD-HAT'.

(Other definitions for old hat that I've seen before include "Passe" , "Something tediously familiar" , "Tediously familiar or outdated, like obsolete headgear" , "Out of fashion, headgear perhaps" , "Dolly Varden perhaps?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
