Mi abuelo es chapado a la antigua y todavía escribe cartas a mano.

English Translation

My grandfather is old-fashioned and still writes letters by hand.

I’ve previously only seen this expression with estar: “está chapado a la antigua”.

I’m still wondering which sounds better, es or está.

I think I would say ‘está’, but I ‘es’ doesn’t grate my ear particularly.
