Re: Quick question - headgear for the IF troops…?

I AM going with both (the heads are done, just got the get them added to
the bodies!)….the question is simply what to call them, to make the
two versions clear in the descriptions….?

across the face….

I've always understood to be the name (or maybe just one of the names)
of the classic "chequered teatowel with the headband band round it" (I'm
using this as a purely descriptive term, not with any non-PC meaning to
it!), SAS/LRDG /Lawrence of Arabia style. But what I can't find is a
name for the the longer cloth or scarf worn wound around the head
turban-style, with the ends either over the shoulders or wrapped across
the face as a sand-mask; is it still simply called a Turban, or is there
a better term for it?
