Noun - a subcategory of hipster (usually an early twenty-something) who melds characteristics of the chicster (fashionable clothing, etc.) with anachronistic idioms.
The old-soulster employs outdated phraseology in their everyday vocabularly; words such as swell or indeed are top-notch for the old-soulster.
S/he also finds delight in age-inappropriate activities, such as antiquing, collecting art glass or discussing the latest issue of the New Yorker with a fellow old-soulster.
The old-soulster drives an old car, usually an Austin-Healey or other British sports car, writes their term papers on a typewriter, and definitely smokes a pipe whenever possible.
Their music is drastically disparate form that of the hipster and many of the other subcategories. While other hipsters blast indie rock, the old-soulster is quite content blowing out the sound system of their British car with the minimalist stylings of Philip Glass.
For the old-soulster, irony is best expressed by the juxtaposition of old and new. The use of their iPad for perusing Tumblr while listening to their vinyl copy of Einstein on the Beach on a nearby record player is a prime example.
One would most likely find this hipster socializing in a coffee house, surrounded by other hipsters, and is clearly identified by a bow tie, wool/tweed clothing and standard hipster eyewear, extremely fashionable footwear and bag, probably accompanied by a copy of an eighteenth century novel or the latest New York Times.

Dude II: I think he's an old-soulster...
Dude I: Oh. Makes sense, I guess.
Dude II: No, not really.

When your friend that used to be fun to hang out with but who's shit is now fully owned by the "man", actually hangs out with you again and does hilarious shit like he used to do.
Everyone at the party was wasted and it was funny as shit because old-wade was out and shut the place down.
I wish he would stop being such a pussy and act like old-wade.

Through the 19th and in the early half of the 20th century, Londoners used coal for heating their homes, which produced large amounts of smoke. In combination with climatic conditions this often caused a characteristic smog, and London became known for its typical "London Fog", also known as "Pea Soupers". London was sometimes referred to as "The Smoke" because of this. In 1952 this culminated in the disastrous Great Smog of 1952 which lasted for five days and killed over 4,000 people. In response to this, the Clean Air Act 1956 was passed, mandating the creating of "smokeless zones" where the use of "smokeless" fuels was required (this was at a time when most households still used open fires); the Act was effective, though the nickname is still used sarcastically. Many cities have since aquired the nickname "The Smoke", but London was the first, hence "The Old Smoke".
