Help with a cape pattern??

[GBrittelleJr]

Hello all, I need some help. I was given five yards of the most wonderful unique fabric to make a comic style Batman cape. It's deep navy blue, has a slight stretch, and it's somewhat shiny like polished cotton on one side with a subtle leather print. It's amazing but I don't know what kind of material it is or where I can find more. So I have to work with what I have.

Does anyone know how I can make a good flowing cape with five yards? I'm 6ft tall, so if I just drape the fabric over my shoulders it becomes much too short and stops mid calf.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

How wide is the material? I have made capes for the last 24 years and can hopefully help you make the most out of your material.

This is a tutorial on a half circle cape. I think if you do this in paper, you can split it into pie wedges and you'll be able to get an even longer cape and it would play into the batman style.
