They were/are known as White Monks, because of their white cowls (usually only worn as choir dress). Their regular habit consists of a white tunic, over which a black hooded scapular is worn. The whole is girded together by a leather belt. (Some Cistercians of the Common Observance [OCist] wear, instead of the leather belt, a black cincture, BUT Cistercians of the Strict Observance [OCSO] never do, they only wear leather belts).
Old Carthusians F.C. was created in 1876.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe group that comes to mind would be the Carthusians, the strictest order in the Catholic Church. The Carthusians are an order of Hermits. Their "monasteries" consist of collections of hermitages, and they come together for several Offices a day. They wear white robes and often have their hoods up. I have included a link to their website (below). Their Order has changed little since the twelve century.
The Carthusians are a religious order that wear boots as part of their distinctive habit. They are known for their simple and austere lifestyle, which includes manual labor and a significant amount of time spent in solitude and prayer.
Roman Catholic AnswerReligious priests who wear white habits include Cisterians, Carthusians, and Dominicans. All priests wear a white alb over whatever else they have on when they start dressing for liturgical celebrations. Over that they wear a white chasuble for Christmas, Easter, and feasts of the Our Lord, Our Lady, the angels, and saints who are not martyrs.

Oh, dude, comparing Carthusians and Cistercians is like comparing apples and oranges. Carthusians are all about that hermit life, living in solitude and silence, while Cistercians are more into communal living and manual labor. It's like introverts versus extroverts, but with monks.

The strictest Order in the Catholic Church is the Carthusians, but it is not an Order just of priests, it is a religious Order with both priests and brothers.
