Eventually, he does return to his usual wardrobe of choice--only to later have to disguise himself as Charles, who never goes shirtless in public. And just when Bob finally ditches the disguise, he gets invited to a close friend's wedding, and decides to not embarrass the friend by walking around with a naked torso.

At this point, he gives the middle finger to the universe and wears a specially-designed hazmat suit whose torso is transparent!
