A prophet's mantle in the Old Testament days was a cloak that included a sacred sash. Today, the prophet wears a business suit and tie.

The robe and cape thing are right - the mantle is also a reference to the responsibilities and gifts tied to the calling of prophet.

His robe or cape that he was known by wearing. They have been worn from the time of the Exodus until today.
