I think helmets need to be tried on. None of the 6 people I ride with regulary have the same model helmet or brand. Most of the manufacturers make different shaped helmets and it's hard to pick out which will fit online if you haven't tried some on.
I have an alpinestars leather jacket and a firstgear mesh textile jacket. Both fit me pretty much just like any other regular jacket. You can pretty much get whatever style of jacket that you like with as much or as little protection as you feel comfortable with.
I tend to ride on the street in jeans even though I've seen what happens when someone goes down in a pair of levis. I do normally wear a set of gloves and boots too. So you may want to go the whole nine yards investing in gear since you are already considering a jacket and a helmet.
