I learned how to do clothing textures by examining others texture maps and laying the texture template over it. It really gives you a good idea of what goes where and how it was done so that you can make your own. Also, painting something on and then applying to a figure (a back and forth kind of process) also gives you a good idea.

If you get stuck on something, send me a sitemail and I'll try and help you. I've been making clothing textures for a long time ;o). Photoshop 7 is my drug of choice...lol.
