Buying for a dad who appreciates design, utility, and subcultural heritage can be a nuanced task. This Father’s Day, we sat down with Matt to pull together a selection of store favourites, a lineup reflecting his personal daily rotation and the 21-year evolution of Highs and Lows.

When it comes to his own uniform, Matt’s daily wear centres on easy, hard-wearing staples: chatting about his favourite picks from Song for the Mute & adidas releases, Levi’s denim, and the rugged profile of Nike Goadomes. Anchoring it all are our Highs and Lows in-house pieces, items Matt confesses he is virtually never seen without. He pairs these wardrobe foundations with print and vinyl as easy, personal gifts, pointing to skater Ed Templeton’s street photography book alongside James Blake’s latest record, “Trying Times”.

Heading upstairs to the lifestyle floor, Matt points directly to pieces he uses daily at home. He highlights Tekla Fabrics, calling both their towelling and pyjamas non-negotiable household staples, before moving over to Tokyo label retaW. He talks through founder Hiroshi Fujiwara’s music-driven naming schemes, pointing out how EVELYN* uses a champagne-tinged scent in tribute to Evelyn "Champagne" King, while AMY* nods to Amy Winehouse. To wrap up, Matt reaches for Comme des Garçons Parfums’ Concrete, calling it his all-time favourite scent and candidly citing it as one of the best CDG has ever made.
