A cape is any sleeveless outer garment, such as a poncho, but usually it is a long garment that covers only the back half of the wearer, fastening around the neck.
Capes were common in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood in the chaperon, and have had periodic returns to fashion, for example, in nineteenth century Europe. Roman Catholic clergy wear a type of cape known as a ferraiolo, which is worn for formal events outside of a liturgical context. The cope is a liturgical vestment in the form of a cape. Capes are often highly decorated with elaborate embroidery. Capes remain in regular use as rain wear in various military units and police forces, for example in France. A gas cape was a voluminous military garment designed to give rain protection to someone wearing the bulky gas masks used in twentieth century wars.
In fashion, the word cape usually refers to a shorter garment and cloak to a full-length version of the different types of garment, though the two terms are sometimes used synonymously for full-length coverings. The fashion cape does not cover the front to any appreciable degree. In raingear, a cape is usually a long and roomy protective garment worn to keep one dry in the rain.

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage, he's figurin' what the heck, well
He screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart, he's headed for the ground
Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Now, he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dream
And he's full of spit and vinegar and he's bustin' at the seam
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind, it's gonna be do or die
And he wasn't scared of nothin', boys, he was pretty sure he could fly
Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Now, he's old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
And he's still jumpin' off the garage and will be till he's dead
All these years the people said, he was actin' like a kid
He did not know he could not fly and so he did
Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Yes, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
When she puts on her cape, everyone's asleep in the house
Not too early, not too late, she knows when the time is right
Out in the air
The city's glowing and there's snow down there
Cold, crisp and quiet, now everywhere
She's got her cape on, she's flying out with all of her dreams
Fit to dreaming this world is easy as it may seem
She's got her cape on and we hide under the covers
I bury my nose in your hair, your little finger's on the button of my shirt
Right around my heart
I'm not going anywhere, when you've been flying, come sleep right next to
Keep each other warm
We're good together, make the lunchbox and sing in the car
I'm not allowed to say anything and it's fine too
Out in the air
The city's glowing and there's snow everywhere
It's cold and crisp and so quiet down there
She's got her cape on, she's flying out with all of her dreams
Fit to dreaming this world is easy as it may seem
She's got her cape on and we hide -
There's fantasy and there's lying, and I need both sometimes
There's tears of joy and there's crying, and I'm with you right now
Out in the air
The city's glowing and there's snow down there
Cold, crisp and quiet, now -
She's got her cape on, she's flying out with all of her dreams
Fit to dreaming this world is easy as it may seem
There's fantasy and there's lying, and I need both sometimes
