Looking for a certain cloak

I'm looking for a certain cloak similar to this style (middle character):

The cloak can be longer. What I'm mostly interested in is that the cloak is pinned at the shoulder and the front cloth covers his chest, leaving one arm open and free.
Is there a similar cloak on Daz that I don't know about yet? I tried searching, and nothing came up so far.

The cloak isn't really that visible...

? Which one looks closer to what you're looking for?
It somewhat looks like the second link you sent, but the cloak is pinned at the right shoulder. The other shoulder/arm is covered by the cloak.
I attached a little outline of the cloak. Hopefully you can see it better.
I'm working with Genesis 2 Male.
OP seems to be looking for something more like this
And I am not at all certain that there is one aroundm I would imagine if there is it would have to be a dynamic one.
I can't remember seeing one, but seeing the image Chohole posted ,made me think of Jepe's sheets packs http://www.daz3d.com/jepe ,
You might be able to create a similar look by changing the shape and texture and then if you need a pin/button you could add it in postwork. Just a thought :)
The only remotely similar I've come across is http://www.daz3d.com/desert-pathfinders-for-genesis-2-male-s
But hat has the head part all wrong.
Something like that is a NIGHTMARE to get right in a weightmapped system. It's infinitely easier to do when using cloth sims, and even then most don't allow the predefinition of immobile / conforming elements, it would have to be done by the user.
Chohole, that image is a great example.
BeeMKay, I feel the link you sent (Desert Pathfinders) is the closest so far. I have a feeling it won't be as dynamic as I need it to be so it can go over the chest/stomache, but it's worth a shot trying out. One of the screenshots shows no head part.
The bottom of the cloak doesn't need to be at the feet, but above the knee caps. But that's just a preference maybe for the morph details.
I tried Desert Pathfinders. The cloak is not dynamic enough to move the cloth to the front of the torso. It still is the closest option so far. I just wish it was more dynamic.
Can you kit-bash something with half of one cloak (trans-map) under the top of another? Won't work well for an animation but if it's a still image...
Do you need a particular position? I was wondering if something would be kitbashable using VWD and a square, but, to be honest, i'm not very good with that tool.
I haven't used that program before. It's tempting but doubt how successful I would be with it.
Would this cloak work: http://www.daz3d.com/ef-m4_reapercloak ?

but not with one free shoulder :(
one shoulder cape is really hard to find

here is one for free but poser dynamic

This could be something

Poser dynamic: http://www.daz3d.com/stormwind-capes-for-v4 (look at the last promo picture)
If you parent this one and rotate it? http://www.daz3d.com/mad-nurse-for-genesis-female http://www.daz3d.com/mad-nurse-for-genesis-2-female-s
Daz Dynamic: http://www.daz3d.com/controllable-dynamic-shapes (there is one called rounded sleeves that would work) or http://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-pattern-design-kit (not controllable, more work, but some shapes look right)
DazDynamic free: http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload06.php (making the fringes invisible, rotating ...)
I have the solution... download the 30 days trial version of Marvelous Designer. You can easily create the cape, pose it in the posistion you want to render, save it as an object and then reload it to your render software
Rounded sleeves says: This product is currently incompatible with DAZ Studio 4.6 and up.
Though that would perhaps work with the other dynamic tool.
