FOR STAR TREK FAN : Sorry, Let's notice this fail as normally the thumb have to be separate from the hand !!! ;)

This is a great DIY tutorial, but I also think it's important to recognize that this idea has been also been done on Threadless. I'm not attempting to comment on originality or anything, just thought I would state that someone else has a similar idea.
The other zipper hoodie idea can be seen here: http://www.threadless.com/product/2464/Traditional_Greeting/tab,guys/style,zipup

Yes, you qre right it is good to mention it! it is the original idea :) but now you can do it by yourself :)
Thanks

Sorry for the "has been also been done". I should have checked my grammar. Cheers!

That's a great idea. I love it! I noticed that if the sweatshirt is zipped completely, you have the Hand of Buddha.

Good to know!!
I will do it on a Tshirt :)
Thanks
noahspurrier says: May 6, 2012. 2:12 PM
Jeez, you're doing it wrong!!! The thumb is supposed to be extended. Trek fail...

Wow, someone more Trekkie than I! I'm fairly sure I've seen the "vulcan sign" with thumb outstretched and and closed as in this 'ible. Nimoy made it up on the spot, based on something Jewish in his background.
noahspurrier says: May 7, 2012. 2:44 PM
Ha! Show me a picture of a Vulcan doing the Vulcan salute with their thumb retracted and I'll buy you a Romulan ale. (It has to be a canon Vulcan, not just some ignorant dork with rubber ears at a nerdy Trek convention).

Dif tor heh smusma.

Nice try. You mother must have been an Andorian. If you're going to try to cheat by faking a photo you might have picked a shot that didn't come from "Amok Time", the most famous of all episodes featuring Vulcans. But your photoshop failure is both ironic and fitting since "Amok Time" was the episode that introduced the Vulcan salute as well as "Live Long and Prosper".

I have to agree with applesforjonah, you are voilating someone's intellectual property rights as this is not even inspired by the threadless design but a blatent copy. You should consider removing this instructable before it is ordered to be removed.
