As was said, I am not an expert on this period. I remember when the discussion of the cotehardie and sideless surcoat from Simplicity (3888?) came up it was noted about the fastenings in the back and someone who is an expert in the period (was it Robin?) had stated that back closures were seen with these gowns. Now from this info, whether back closure was done on men's garments of the period I can only say it is a probability.
