Buying something off the high street just means buying clothes from one of the many brand-chain stores that you see whilst out shopping (the 'high street' would usually refer to the centre of town where most of the shops are).
Daniel is looking down on John for buying clothes straight off the peg, as opposed to having something specially made to measure by a tailor.

It's my headcanon that John buys most of his clothes that he doesn't wear to work at cheap shops like H&M (do you have that in the U.S?) or second hand shops... basically he's me :D

Since I was the anon that wanted to know what the term meant and received such prompt, informative answers, I figure I owe it to you to answer your question!
We have H&M in mostly large US cities on either coast.
On the west coast, the furthest ones toward the east looks like Las Vegas, Nevada and Tucson, Arizona. The east coast seems to have many more than the west. The furthest east heading west stores are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and St. Louis, Missouri. I'm now living in Southern Illinois, so the St. Louis one would be closest to me.
There appear to be none at all in what snobs deem 'The Fly-Over States.'

I don't like Daniel: he sneers at John's clothes, and he calls Angelo's "poky". It's not poky, you cow, it's ROMANTIC!

That's it, he's going down. (Not in the fun way.)

"high street stripy jumper"
I'm curious what does the term "high street" indicate? Thanks!

I was the only non-white person I encountered most days and had a woman ask if I were from Africa at work one day. (I'm of Asian descent.)
