There may be more than one answer, but one I know is puggree.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, 2006, defines PUG·GREE as: "a cloth band or scarf wrapped around the crown of a hat or [sun] helmet." The word comes from the Hindi pagri, a turban. I originally encountered this word in a book about the French Foreign Legion, whose caps (kepis) were famously equipped with white linen puggrees to keep the sun off the backs of their necks. At sporting goods stores today you can buy caps fitted with puggrees. They aren't attractive, but they're better than skin cancer.

According to one online dictionary, "scarf" has an unknown origin. It may have originated in the Old Norman French escarpe or Medieval Latin scrippum (a pilgrim's pack). It has a Scandinavian origin and Norwegian (skarv), the Swedish skarf, or the Low German/Dutch scherf. "Scarf" has been in use in some spelling since the mid 1400s.Although "scarf" also describes the joining of timber, the most common meaning is a piece of cloth used to cover the head, ears, or neck.In Russian and Polish cultures, a "scarf" is called a "babushka". A "babushka" can be tied at the back, or worn traditionally as a head covering that ties under the chin. Catholics often wore scarves or babushkas.
