How important is fit on gear?

Once again, I have a question that sort of seems obvious but I figured if I got a thread started it would be more beneficial to other people in the long run.

As some of you may remember I got a AGV jacket with my bike. It was on the original owner when he layed the bike down and it has some light scuffing on it. However, what bothers me the most is that the jacket is a 44 and is pretty big on me. I keep telling myself I will just grow into it with time at the gym, but I now realize this may be a rediculous thought.

Obviously the leather jacket is better protection then nothing, but I was sort of thinking that I wouldn't mind a new jacket and I figured that it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a jacket that fit me much better as well!

Right now the arms are pretty loose on my jacket and I am pretty sure the armor in the arms would just wrap around my arm on impact and not actually reduce any of the impact.

Thougths?
