Here is a roman copy of a greek original bust of Pythagoras. Although from Samos not Crete the turban/headscarf was not unknown in the classical world:

That looks like the lining for a Samurai Kabuto. They are pretty simple to make. Get a sircular piece of cloth and start stitching a close spiral into it. As the stitches get closer to the center, the cloth will "dish" in shape into a conical padding cap.

My pilos is felt in the inside. In the outside I interpreted the Patroclus vase as indication of woven cap. Perhaps wrong,but who knows! In fact i put my grandmother make the outer cap,with thick weave,she started from the top and started weaving in spiral addings weaves in every circle til she reached the circumference I had given her. I originally thought that this cap alone would be ok but when I received the helmet I realized i needed more padding so i added very thick felt round cap in the inside. Now the whole cap is about two cm thick or a bit less. It's very comfortable when i wear the helmet.

If you do search for "Cretan head band" in Google images and will find good depictions of the headband made of various sized /material.
