.. and because one had intent to put the tallis back on. Which leads to
the counterintuitive (in my intuition's opinion) result that if you take
your tallis off on purpose to put on later, you don't need a berakhah; but
if it slips altogether off unintentionally, you do need one when you put
it back on.

In any case, no one makes a berakhah on putting their hat back on. Not
even those who timed "oteir Yisra'el besif'arah" for when they put it
on in the first place.
