agree  Beth Kantus: unless it's an ear flap (just one?) it could also be called a visor I think

ear flap


Explanation:
Most likely short for "Ohrenklappe". Here a continuous flap that covers both ears and wraps around the back of the head. Looks chic in leather when it's rolled up, and the leather feels good against the ears when it's down. In headgear a "Klappe" can also be a lappet, which is any kind of fold or flap. Do wish you had the pictures :-).
