Bugs
This happened to me, I had to waste alot of stealth boys to get to some of the Main Storyline Quest givers to get past the hostile NCR people, like Ambassador Crocker, Colonel Moore etc... The only way Most NCR people dont attack me is if I wear NCR armor, but this only fouls the regular troopers not Rangers or High ranked people, like Capt. Curtis or Lt. Haggerty.
 * Sometimes equipping ANY faction clothing/armor, no matter how briefly, PERMANENTLY sets you as a member of that faction in the eyes of all enemies of that faction. This happens even if you put on neutral duds before exiting Pip-Boy and no NPC ever sees you wearing enemy faction attire.  For example, while looting bodies out the wasteland you accidentally put on Powder Ganger armor but immediately take it off.  When you return to Primm, all residents will be hostile anyway.  If you ever put on Legion gear, the NCR will be hostile forever after, etc.
 * This can also happen on Xbox360(Confirmed), the fix below did not work for Xbox though.
 * POSSIBLE FIX: Find out which faction's armor is causing hostility from a group. Put it back on, and then make sure the Pip-Boy says that you are no longer disguised as a member of that faction when you unequip the armor.
 * If this doesn't work (it hasn't in my games), you'll have to use the console command "setreputation factionID x y". But the best bet is, NEVER wear faction clothing/armor unless you actually want the permanent hostility of that faction's enemies.
 * Trading faction armor you are wearing to a companion will result in an interface bug, as you are still in the trading screen when the "no longer wearing faction armor" comment pops up. (Furthermore, if the faction armor cannot be worn by the companion, as is the case for most of them, they will drop the armor, anyway.)  This dialog can be impossible to select OK on.  Pressing start and hitting Continue appears to fix this.  (Unconfirmed on other platforms.)
 * If you are accepted, idolized,etc, by a faction and you wear their armor, it is possible that your reputation with that faction will drop to neutral. Even if you take the armor off, you'll still be neutral.It is possible for it to work the opposite way, if your vilified, hated, etc, the same thing can happen. The only way to boost your reputation with that faction is to do quests for them.
