I think it really depends. I have been a faithful vegetarian for quite some time now. I don't wear lether, but do I own items of leather? Yes, I do. Why? I owned it before I became vegetarian. I gave most of my leather things to my sister as we have the same size feet and torso, but some things she cannot fit into, like my old belts. So, I guess the answer is that most of us don't. I wear quality faux leather, and if I own something leather, I don't wear it. But I see why somebody would wear leather if they were a vegetarian. I agree that it is wasteful for the skin to be thrown into a landfill when somebody could wear it, but if you are against killing animals, then wearing leather is almost the same thing as eating it. The animal is being killed, just in a different way.
