True that. I haven't clicked your links, because I'm capped at this current time.
So, to be an ass, because I can't look. Are the clothes comfy?
Also, what would be a nice budget pipe to aim for? Like, budget, but would be of decent build? I wouldn't mind a pipe
Indeed they are. Although the trousers- sitting above the waist- can take getting used to for many. It didn't bother me any, since I tended to wear regular pants pretty high up anyways.
As for a pipe, you can get a serviceable one for under 20 dollars. As for which ones to try- that largely depends on what's available. Peterson is a fairly popular brand (three of my seven are Petersons), but I've no idea what you'll be likely to find in your area.
Naturally, the cheaper pipe will be of cheaper build- you can feel it when you handle it- but treat it well, don't knock it on any hard surfaces, drop it, etc. and it'll last ya just fine.

Ah buddy. I'll stick to my cigars and my suit for when I feel like being classy. For every other time, just my usual chav type wear. Might chuck on a snapback for lulz
But my attire is appropriate for ALL the times. Work, Weddings, Walks, Wassailing- whatever, whenever, wherever.

I've only have smoked captain black so far since its the only thing I can get locally aside from Criss-Cross(eww). I love pipe smoking. Usually I'll smoke pretty heavily, depending on what I'm doing. Usually go through about 10+ bowls a night, more if I game, less if I watch anime.
Ten bowls a night???
You're either smoking much too quickly, got a very small pipe, or you're talking about pot.
Ten bowls of a regular tobacco pipe, and you'll have cancer before the weekend's up.
Your average pipe- packed full with a good tobacco- can easily last two hours. I've had one go for over three.
Even if I'm out and about, puffing away like a steam train, will it last at least 40 minutes.
You're also not supposed to smoke out of the same pipe more than twice a day (heck, even twice isn't recommended)- the temperature shifts could lead it to crack if you don't let it adjust properly. You smoke it, clean it, and then let it rest for three days to air out.
If you plan to smoke fairly regularly- like I- it's best to have at least three pipes which you can alternate between.
Small pipe and I smoke like a damn chimney. And its regular tobacco, I've never had pot before. I suppose I just chain smoke with it. Ashes get down to bottom, dump, clean, new bowl. Repeat. One bowl lasts about half an hour, so I get about 10 on my average recreation night.
Jeebas.
Well- to each their own, I guess. I prefer to savour mine. On game nights at a pub, where I plan to smoke more, I'll complement the pipe with a pack of cheap cigars.
