Damn, I thought my hat was dirty! If I found half the stuff you find I wouldn't wash mine either. 
You are supposed to wear it on your head and not as a codpiece!
FWIW, recently all my underwear started turning orange in front, so I put them on backwards from time to time to give them a nice overall hippie 'tyedyed' effect, kinda looks cool!...you may want to try that with your hats?..All the kids now a days wear their hats on backwards...
Or, better yet, put your underwear on over your head, and your hat in your pants and get back to us for a full medical scientific diagnosis?..One things for sure, nobody is gonna hassle you if you go around wearing underpants for a hat, and a hat in your pants, especially if they both turn orange.......Billed hats worn correctly are a hazard in a totlot anyway...Underpants are more reasonable, plus, the mothers quickly gather up their kids and leave when you show up!. Underpants make a nice beanie, with built in ear holes for the phones you know...
I'm not a doctor, but I'd say lay off the Cheetos for a while...

So... back to this cruddy looking hat thread.
After washing the hat with water from the hose you get the white sweat stains off and the hat looks like new until it dries - then the orange comes back in and it looks bad.
So I thought to myself "what would make it keep that wet look?"
Then I remembered Turtlewax trim restorer - that I used on my Suburban's plastic trim. It did a good job of making the gray trim look black again and it lasted pretty long.
So I tried it on the hats and it works pretty well. You use a treated hat all day in the sun and some orange comes back a bit but just apply a bit more of the product and looks good again.
Here are a before/after photo and a shot of a treated vs untreated hat. They both look almost new after treatment. I haven't yet tried using the restorer on the CTX...
