Ok, a lot of this is conjecture but from a Dev standpoint my guess is the scarf is intended to represent Umbra's uniqueness, set him apart from Excalibur and Excalibur Prime. If you want a Lore explaination my best guess is that his pysical form is a result of the mutations like they are for every Warframe. The umbral ornaments on his arms and face are intended to indicate prime-level augmentation like Frost's crown OR they're a part of Orokin Dax's armor that were... absorbed by the mutative process. As for the scarf? I always assumed the scarf and loincloth were modifications Umbra made himself after his transformation, I assumed that the mutative process combined with the trauma of killing his son and whatever torture ballas inflicted after his transformation caused his mind to revert to a more primitive, animal state. it's possible the scarf and loincloth were all he could assemble OR it was done in a hurry when he escaped the lab on Lua.
