I am surprised you say the sizes run large because my experience is that European sizes run quite small compared to American sizes. For example, a large in craighoppers, a similar UK brand is more like a medium in the U.S. Are you sure? I haven't worn this brand, though, but it seems to be a common problem for the European companies when they sell in the us if it wasn't specifically made, I.e. Resized, for this market.
