I am very sad to see Thomas Tailoring leave our Summer Hill community after nearly 30 years as a staple on Smith Street. Thomas Maksielias has been a well-known and much-loved face for generations of Summer Hill residents and many locals have worn his creations with pride. In his 30 years in business, he has certainly seen the changing face of Summer Hill. From a small set of shops that catered for local families, to today's bustling and vibrant Inner West suburb full of restaurants, bars and a wide variety of shops. But it's not only Summer Hill village that Thomas has seen change, he says he's seen his fair share of interesting fashion changes over the years! I wish Thomas all the very best as he shifts to working from his home in Croydon Park where he will continue to specialise in made-to-measure garments, whilst still doing plenty of alterations. Summer Hill's loss is Croydon Park's gain.
