Is there any sort of cloak or cape or something to that effect that grants a shield bonus to AC? Because if so, then I've got a really cool character concept in mind!

Dragon 335 has the rules for a Dueling Cloak. It has a bonus to AC and disarm checks.

There is the Gnome Battle cloak in Races of Stone. I don't think it has a base bonus to AC, but since it is essentially a shield, you could enchant it like one. Kinda like the Gnomish Twist Cloth

I was asking, because I wanted to play a Knight that utilizes a lightly armored, acrobatic fencing style. If I can find a cloak that gives a shield bonus then I can get fun feats like Combat Cloak Expert that reinforce the style while still benefiting from the Knight's bonus to AC with Shields.

A Cloak of Battle from MIC gives +4 Armor bonus, plus some nifty abilities. You could change that to a shield bonus without affecting much... I think.

Actually, it gives a base of +1 to AC to proficient wielders. It also explicitly behaves as a light shield.
