Is it true that one who wears trousers, eats in the street, and is bareheaded is considered to have a flawed sense of honor (makhroum al-muru'ah), to have lost their credibility (saqit al-adalah), and that their testimony is not permissible for a marriage contract or anything else? And is wearing a thobe and covering the head for a man an obligatory duty, the neglect of which entails sin?

The undermining of Muru'ah (chivalry/integrity) varies according to customs, countries, and eras. Its criterion is every trait that people consider contrary to noble character and indicative of a base soul. Wearing a shirt is recommended, not obligatory; its original ruling is permissibility, and the reference for it is custom. Covering the head is not obligatory, and the reference for it is custom.
