Default Gulf Uniform

UK Units in Gulf War were allowed to wear and still are the shermagh a sort of arab scrarf. LRDG in WWWII started this for special forces (forerunners of SAS!) - and Lawrence of Arabia did the same in WW1. Glubb Pashah in the late 1940's continued the same tradition for the arab legion now Joranian army.
Why did the US not use such a practical headgear?
