Ok, so all u experts out there please help me out...

I am 6 ft tall, about 160-165 lbs, I wear size Medium tshirt, 32 size pants, i wear a size 40 for tux/suit jacket (these are all my true sizes, i dont wear baggy clothes, i wear clothes that FIT me)
i am about to purchase this JR CBR Leather Jacket from an online store, and dont know what size to choose. I went to one of the local stores to try to a JR jacket (they didnt have the one i want) to see what size i would have to buy. Anywayz, i tried on size 40 and 42. the salesperson told me that a size 40 is what i should wear. but the thing is when i tried on size 40, its really really tight, it was hard to put on and take off (and i know the jacket should be a snug fit so when u fall, u slide instead of rolling and tumbling), and the elbow guard is a little bit below my elbow!!

so i go try on size 42, it was easy to put on/take off, comfortable, and the elbow guard is right where my elbow is. so this is where my dilemma comes in...the salesperson told me that once i start wearing the jacket, leather is going to stretch and become more loose....so if i get a size 40, it MIGHT become a perfect fit, but what if it doesnt?! ANNNNND if i decide to go with a size 42, it MIGHT become too loose once the leather stretches out....help me guys!! for those of you who had been in my situation before and have the same style/brand of jacket.thanks in advance for all the help! here is a picture of the leather jacket im referring to...please let me know if any of u guys have this jacket and know any pros and cons and if ur within my size, please let me know what size u end up with

I''m a 41 in the chest n wear a 42 in a jacket, had it for a year n it fits great. In the winter I wear a 44 so I can wear a fleeze or sumtin under it n it still fit snug.
