Fabric Matters: The Story Behind Our Running Tees

When we first started Angry Pablo, we made ourselves a promise: if we were going to put something new into the world, it had to justify its existence. No shortcuts, no half measures, and definitely no fast fashion.

That’s why the fabric we use for our Everyday Athlete Running Tee, Renew Action by Carvico®, is so important to us. It’s not just a premium Italian textile; it’s a perfect example of how performance, comfort and responsibility can actually coexist.

Built From Waste, Made to Move

Renew Action is woven in Italy by Carvico - a mill that’s been producing world-class performance fabrics for decades. What makes it special isn’t just the quality, but the story behind it. The yarn is created from post-consumer materials, things like plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Through an advanced regeneration process, that waste is transformed into a lightweight, high-stretch technical fabric that feels incredible against the skin.

It’s a circular approach to performance wear - proving that sustainability doesn’t always have to mean compromise.

Why We Chose It

We spent months testing different fabrics, from the Alps to the South Downs, and Renew Action kept winning us over. It regulates temperature when you’re working hard, wicks away sweat fast, and dries quicker than you’d think possible. The surface has a soft, almost matte finish that looks sharp without shouting about it - now that’s Angry Pablo.

It’s breathable enough for hot tempo runs, but structured enough to still look solid when you’re grabbing a coffee afterwards.

The Details Matter

Every tee we produce goes through countless iterations before we release it. We argue about fit, re-cut panels, tweak seams, and then test again. We design for the moments that actually happen - the mid-run slog, the sprint finish with your mates, and the chat outside the café when you should probably already be heading home.

Beyond the Fabric

For us, choosing the right material isn’t a marketing angle - it’s the foundation of everything we do. Great design starts with substance, not slogans. Renew Action embodies that balance perfectly: responsible, high-performance, built to last.
