In all seriousness, it was made to hook onto his right shoulder, as PPv1 does. This was to give him the Clint Eastwood look with the poncho.
when i made my version 1 fett my cape was huge! the way it attached it didn't hang longer than the cape actually does, but it was bunched from the center. i could wrap it around me as well as over my head. for practicality, i thought that it worked well. boba could be stuck out in the rain waiting for his prey and pull the cape over him to keep the wet off a little better.
then i found the shelter half and thought, well that doesn't do much.

My guess would be that the cape could also serve as a form of camouflage; a dirty, ragged piece of clothing is much less conspicuous than his trademark Mandalorian armor, even with the obviously well-known helmet. In particular, his darker color tones would mesh well with a dark location (think the corners of the Mos Eisley cantina, for example.)
Not that Boba Fett really needed to hide, but the element of surprise is always helpful.

There´s just one simple use of his cape: It´s his iron reserve of toilet paper! muhahahaha

It's his safety blanket, just like Linus on the Peanuts

this to me would be the best answer. Not necessarily to hide armor/helmet, but in order to distort his outlline in darker areas. The US military uses the same solution with their boonie caps etc... In darker areas or busy area (woods lots of buildings etc...) you tend to spot things not by seeing them right away, but by catching a glimpse of something from the corner of your eyes, you further catch it by it's harder outline against the background. Having the cape would distort Boba's outline making him blend more in with darkr areas, and giving him more time to snag you before you spot him.
