The Carmelites were formerly called "Freres Barrez," or Barry Friars, because their habit for a time was party-colored part black and part white. This was about 1285. They afterwards resumed the white dress, which was their original habit. See Collier, Hist. Dict. vol. iv; Landon, Eccles. Dict. s.v.
