I attended a well known embroidery seminar last spring and that very question came up. Both educators said that every one puts them over the left pocket, but could not explain why. The one educator suggested putting the name on the right side...his reasoning was-in a business situation, when two people shake hands, your eyes travel from the other persons eyes to the handshake, then up the arm towards the face again. The embroidery would then be seen as the eyes travel back to the persons face. My husband wears embroidered shirts at work. The company name is over the left pocket and his name is over the right pocket. I see no reason why you could not put it on either side.
