Denzel Washington Worn Shirt & Pants Costume “Training Day” (Backlot Props)

Training Day is a 2001 American neo-noir crime thriller film directed by Antoine Fuqua, and written by David Aver. Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke star as two LAPD narcotics officers over a 24-hour period in the gang-ridden neighborhoods of the LAPD Rampart Division and South Central Los Angeles.

This outfit was worn by the character Alonzo, played by Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington, in the 2001 crime drama Training Day. The suit includes a black shirt and pants with custom tailoring by Dominic Gherardi, and Washington’s name is written on the labels of each. Washington won an Oscar for his performance, and was nominated for a Golden Globe as well.

These items originated from the company Backlot Props and Costumes. Backlot Props and Costumes were based in Burbank, California. They warehoused costumes and props from the major movie studios. The company liquidated their assets in 2010 and these were part of the acquisition of tens of thousands of original costumes and props. These are now available for the first time publicly.
