I think that depends on whether you are reversing a shirt that fully opens in front, a buttoned shirt, so *when open* does reverse back to front, *horizontally*, versus no buttons like a T-shirt, which can only reverse *vertically*, so does not reverse back to front.
I was on an outing, started to rain, and my dad was preparing his rain jacket for me to wear, by rolling up the sleeves, only he was trying to roll them to the inside so wouldn't collect rain, and having difficulty. Me: "Why don't you turn the sleeve inside-out, roll it up to the outside, then turn it back rightside?" Him: "Why the hell didn't I think of that?" And he was a very skilled mechanical engineer, superb at 3D stuff. I was 8 years old. I didn't realize until my mid-30s that this, and other examples in my youth, indicated a superpower for 3D visualization.
