Ethics play a role, but a person who is a hardcore vegetarian for moral reasons is necessarily a hypocrit because that person is still wearing leather shoes and drinking milk and eating eggs and cheese, etc.

You're assuming an awful lot about someone and stating that they HAVE TO be a hypocrite based on something that may or may not be true. Are all shoes leather? Are they still ingesting milk/eggs/cheese? Maybe other examples would work better, but those are extremely poor ones and are simply unfounded and wildly speculative.

Because I already own it. Because the animal has already paid the ultimate price. I wouldn't buy something new, but if I buy from a thrift store it keeps that item (if it doesn't sell) from ending up in a landfill.
That said, I'm not big on leather anyway. I've got a jacket I've had for about 15 years, and some shoes that once they wear out I won't be replacing with leather ones. As for the coat I found, I saved it from the landfill.
