Is it possible to put lettering down the sleeve of a shirt? Everything Ive tried hasnt really worked right in the sense that one arm doesnt look right (The lettering comes out not the right way to read)

From my understanding. Shirt sleeves cannot be designed independent of each other. :/

according to what I've read, the right sleeve's lettering will come out normal, and the left sleeve will come out reversed. This is due to the way the engine processes the texture for the shirt sleeves. The left is a mirror image of the right, therefore causing the letters to be borked.

The way to get around this would be to design a custom font that would read the same normal and reversed.

*(note that can be read the same forward or backward)

You can't do it directly on the clothing since there's only one arm template, but you can do it with attachments. Put the lettering on an otherwise transparent texture and then apply the texture to a cylinder. Duplicate the cylinder and rotate the texture 180 degrees. Attach one cylinder to each arm and you're all set. Note that if you want the lettering to extend all the way down a long sleeve, you'll need 2 cylinders on each arm, each showing half the texture.
