Generally it's about being less strict, but it's typically done for health reasons. I mean pushing every into a box is hard. Intentionally eating any kind of meat or meat byproduct, including fish means you're not following a vegetarian lifestyle. It's not a knock on the person it's just in the definition, an example would be a professional sports player. If they are no longer playing the sport in the big leagues they are no longer a big league sports player. It doesn't mean they couldn't be one again, just that they aren't even they aren't. If they move to the minor leagues they are a minor league player. Veganism with it's stricter requirements would be like a big league player, vegetarian which is a bit easier to maintain minor leagues, and people who only play sometimes would be pick up players or adult league players. The problem comes when people confuse the issue for those unfamiliar with the lifestyle. Someone who occasionally eats meat around their family might confuse their family into thinking that all vegetarians are comfortable with this when most aren't. I'd personally prefer that people that do this use the flexatarianism name to avoid that confusion.
Strictly speaking veganism does generally include clothing as part of the definition, I typically dress vegan but eat vegetarian. I have no problem stealing honey from bees as I view it as a generally cobeneficial relationship. I plant flowers for them specifically, set up housing for them, and protect them from their enemies, all ensuring a higher survival chance and more production. Same with pets. I feed them, take care of them, provide them love, and mutually we have a relationship of family. Our pets are given every opportunity to be the animals they are with the benefit of free food and protection, just for being part of the family.
If you're looking for leather style formal shoes that aren't leather, look for things like PU (not PU leather) or vegan leather. It's all just a way of saying PVC clothing. You can also look for the tag "all man-made materials". Your headphones are generally not real leather unless they explicitly state it and are very high end. Couch guitar straps makes some great vegan belts from recycled car vinyl, clickbelts make some vegan ones too, mooshoes has only vegan shoes, and searching vegan shoes on Amazon will bring up tons in all difference price ranges. All of these are just suggestions if you're looking for them.
