Ten things Patrick J. Adams can’t live without

My kettlebells We regularly work 14-hour days on Suits, so I don’t have time for the gym. But I have a set of seven kettlebells at home, and a trainer in L.A. who flies up sometimes to tell me what to do with them.

My school bus A big group of my friends wanted to go to Burning Man in 2010, and I had this idea to go in a bus. They all thought it was crazy, but I found a 1982 Bluebird for cheap and we spent the entire summer ripping all the seats out, installing beds and converting it into a livable space.

My Sunday brunch It’s my favourite meal of the week. I alternate between the Benny at Boehmer and the omelette at The Swan.

My lovable mutt Charlie’s a crazy mix of Lab, elkhound, Lhasa Apso and terrier. He is my best friend in the world, and he goes everywhere with me. Or maybe I go everywhere with him. It’s hard to tell who’s leading whom at this point.

My turntable After years of dead hard drives and disorganized MP3s, I finally bought a turntable at Planet of Sound on Queen West and built a collection of my favourites: Arcade Fire, John Coltrane, Bob Dylan.

My Honda Elite scooter In L.A., I get around on my ancient scooter. She’s 29 years old. She backfires constantly. And she’s banged up from an unfortunate encounter I had with a city bus. But she still runs.

My custom threads Wearing suits every day on the show has shown me how something as small as the size of a lapel can completely change a person—make you look more powerful or stand up taller. I love Garrison Bespoke. They’re old school, and they take their time getting pieces to fit just right.

My go-to software I try to make time every day to work on my photo projects—right now I’m shooting portraits of our crew on set. The Lightroom application, which I use to manage and edit thousands of images, is permanently open on my laptop.

My Giant bike We shoot Suits in Toronto during the beautiful months, and I try and get out on two wheels as much as possible.
