==Roles and Draping==
This costume is used for roles of women from China (''[[Kureha]]'' [[呉服]]). The sobatsugi is draped so it hangs straight over a ''[[kosode]]''. For roles of fierce deities (''[[Kinsatsu]]'' [[金札]]) and warriors (Soga brothers in ''[[Youchi Soga]]'' [[夜討曽我]]), the sobatsugi is worn over ''[[hangiri]]'' [[半切]] or ''[[ōkuchi]]'' [[大口]] and belted at the waist. As such it substitutes for a happi with hiked up sleeves, providing easier mobility. Kyōgen roles of low-ranking Chinese officials wear a sobatsugi over ankle-bound ''momohiki'' trousers.

==Textile Features and Tailoring==
The knee-length sobatsugi has a narrow, straight collar that runs almost down to the hem and cloth bands joining the front and back panels at the hem and is always lined.  Like happi, sobatsugi have designs rendered in colored thread and/or gold and silver thread on a solid ground, which may be satin, twill, or possibly plain weave. A few have embroidered designs.

==Designs and Colors==
Many of the designs have a Chinese flavor, like dragons among clouds, or classic geometric forms. When used to imitate armor, sobatsugi with bold patterns in gold against a navy, green, brown, or white background are favored. For Chinese roles, the designs tend to be denser, possibly smaller, and include multi-colored threads.
