Jesuits can wear whatever they want. Some Jesuits wear black pants and a black collared shirt with their white clerical collar, others wear jeans and a polo shirt every day. When Jesuits say Mass, they wear the same liturgical vestments that any other priest would wear for Mass.

At one time nearly ALL religious orders had some form of garb for daily wear. The more temporal in service, the less "Friar Tuck" look habits had. Since Jesuits were very worldly oriented in their ministries of parish work and education, their habits were a black cassock with a knotted belt. As with all religious, there was a indult, or official permission to wear white in tropical areas, or as an option in lands that were hot in summertime, such as the American South.

During the last 45 years, Vatican II was allowed to spiral out of control, and many groups, wrongly abandoned any form of garb. As newer men and women entered, there has been a long overdue return to the wearing of modified garbs and clerical attire; this is especially true of younger members. Also, many of the newer congregations of religious have a required habit or garb that is worn everyday.

Who are the priests that wear olive colored robes with leather belts and sandals?

I have never heard of that before. Franciscans wear brown or grey. Benedictines wear black as do most Christian monastic orders. Roman Catholic and some Anglican Priests wear for daily use, cassocks buttoned down the front. Other Anglican Priests wear doublebreasted cassocks with belts, ropes or cinctures about their waists. Most Non-Conformist Ministers do not wear cassocks or any other vestments apart from a clerical collar. Some like Anglican and Roman Catholic Priests wear special vestments for Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, and the Eucharistic Services, the colours for which change according to the season or Saint's Day.

Depends upon the affiliation - Catholic, Anglican, etc..
