two sleeveless arms
I presume the cloth could be something related to clothing. A 'manche' is a sleeve.
It could be two sleeves without the arm portion.
Render it according to your context, I hope this is what you need!

sleeveless arms
Is it talking about a lack of cloth/covering? If so, this is the expression we use to refer to bare arms.

I believe this is it but having a bit more text would help.
