Best Answer

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

Basically, a vicar (Latin: vicarious: meaning 'instead of' is a high ranking official in the church structure representing someone in higher authority - usually having that officials authority and power) will wear similar clothing as a Priest - a long black cassock with a white 'surplice' or over garment in the Catholic way or paints and a stiff white shirt in the Anglican style of Ministers. This will vary according to the 'season' in the calendar year.

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.

The collar that vicars wear is a clerical collar, not a dog collar. Dog collar is just a crude nickname. The clerical collar is also sometimes referred to as a Roman collar.
