The Cape is a clothing item added in the Royalty DLC. Nobles of Acolyte rank and above require either one of these, or either a Prestige or Eltex robe, to consider themselves properly dressed and avoid a negative moodlet. Moral guides (introduced in Ideology DLC) can also similarly require them.
Acquisition
As a complicated garment, Capes can only be made at tailor benches. The cape itself does not technically require research but constructing the tables requires that Complex Clothing has been researched. A Cape requires 80 of any textile, and 16,000 ticks (4.44 mins) of work.
It can also be found on Imperial Nobles, for sale at traders and as a quest reward.
Analysis
Statistically, Capes are identical to Dusters. Like dusters, capes are great hot-weather garments, and either item is necessary to survive in very hot biomes (e.g. Arid Shrubland, Tropical Rainforest, Desert, etc.), and recommended for temperate biomes (i.e. Temperate Forest), as both are susceptible to heat waves, reaching up to or even exceeding 60 °C (140 °F) at the peak of summer. Again, like a duster, capes provides reasonable sharp damage protection when made of tough materials, and can be paired with a flak vest for a strong early and mid game armor set.
They are usually seen as preferable to jackets, since they provide identical armor bonuses, also cover the neck and legs, and have slightly higher hit points (200 vs. 160). Insulation wise, capes offer significantly better insulation from heat (85% vs. 30%), but worse insulation from cold (60% vs. 80%) and require slightly more resources to craft. In cold biomes, parkas are preferable if the temperature is low enough that capes are insufficient. While parkas offer only two thirds the armor and don't cover the legs, they are significantly better at insulating from cold (200% vs. 60%)
Compared to dusters, capes have the same stats, but 60% more work to craft with a resulting higher market value. In colonies without nobles, there is little reason to chose them over dusters besides aesthetics or to train crafting while also producing potentially useful items, as high quality capes can be worn, and of greater market value than a regular duster. If there is no need to roll for high quality apparel for wear and Noble Apparel has been researched, corsets and formal vests are more material efficient as training objects.
In colonies with nobles which will likely already require capes, switching means production can be simplified to a single type of outer layer for all pawns, reducing redundancy at the cost of additional crafting time.
Lastly, unlike dusters, they can be chosen as desired apparel in certain Ideoligious roles.
