Good source for a pattern would be cowboy shirts -- they have various types of capes, pointed, round....make your alterations - attach at neck - finish with bias tape or facing and you are in business. I have made a couple tradish shirts with capes -- look real nice!
Oh, I also stitch through cape and shoulder seam a little to keep it from sliding around. Just a hint!
