Forked back? Never heard of it. Oh you mean the slit on the back seam of the drape. Easy enough just don't sew that seam all the way to the bottom.
Sometimes fabric stores (Hancock, Joanne) have .99 cent sales on patterns, but inflation as driven that to closer to 2 bucks now.
Poly gaberdine would work fine. Many of my cloaks are exactly that. Another alternative is "table cloth" fabric in black. It's more generous in width usually, it's poly, and cheaper than fashion fabric. You can find this buried back in the upholstery section. =)
