The two Danish orders have not used their uniforms (including mantles) since the 19th century. They only exist in a museum now.

On the other hand you might add the (Protestant) Johanniter orders of Germany (Balley Brandenburg), Sweden and the Netherlands.

Sweden:
Not mantles, but entire uniforms including capes/mantles.
For the Orders of the Seraphim, Sword, Polar Star and Vasa, these were last used at the 1844 coronation but they have not been abolished.
The Swedish Royal Order of Charles XIII still use their uniforms including capes/mantles.
