Need this cape, stat!

Ok, so I'm light years behind and finally watching season 5 of Game of Thrones. I need Ellaria Sand's cape in my life yesterday (and quite honestly, the entire outfit).
I'm not looking for a costume-y cape, so probably something more in the 'military cape/coat' realm will have to do me? Something that I can actually wear on the regular and feel like a total bamf. Hit me with your best links!
I'm in France for the next month-ish, so I might even be able to source something here if there's something EU based.

Balmain has a military version, gorgeous! but it is shorter and $$$.
Burbury and Burbury Prossum have done quite a few riffs on that silhouette, most of them in trench variations. Outside of those, it may be easier finding a caplet or shrug type piece with sharp shoulders, and layer it over a basic cape. You might be able to find a maker who does cos play (Esty?) and get them to do a more subtle (with less hardware) piece for you.

If you want this to be wearable outside of cosplay, I would try to find a black cape with shoulder pads. Maybe have a look at this one. Then buy some brass studs (laszier version) or dark embellishments (more complicated version) and add them to the shoulders.
If you want that exact look, I think TenaciousB is right, you need to find someone to make it for you. Due to the pointy shoulders (which probably need some special inlay) and the embroidered pearls, I would guess that this won't be a cheap project to have someone do for you.
