OptiFine can be downloaded for free, however you'll need to contribute $10 to unlock your capes. You can make a donation and pick your cape's design from this webpage. You'll need to enter your Minecraft username.
Once your cape has been activated, it should appear on your character when you launch the game again. If not it's because you don't have OptiFine installed. To ensure that your capes are activated in game, go to Options, then Skin Customization and finally make sure Cape is turned on.
Important If you don't have OptiFine installed other Minecraft players won't be able to view your capes. And although the majority of Minecraft servers support it but some servers will temporarily disable your cape temporarily.
