 In addition to the Homburg , Eden was associated with the mid @-@ 1930s fashion for wearing a white linen waistcoat with a lounge suit , while the poet and novelist Robert Graves likened Eden 's moustache to those of film stars Ronald Colman , William Powell and Clark Gable : " the new moustache was small , short and carefully cut , sometimes slightly curved over the lip at either end , sometimes making a thin straight line " . When Eden visited New York in 1938 he was " deluged with fan mail from teenage college girls to elderly matrons " , while women reporters and society editors " gushed about his classic features , his long dark eyelashes , his limpid eyes , his clear skin , his wavy hair , his charm and magnetism " . In another American city , a display of <unk> in a shop window was adorned with the sign " Welcome to Anthony Eden " . In Amsterdam the hat became known as the " Lord Eden " .
