Can someone from @AnderBerry team explain what is in this neck tie view. Does the tie actually look like this when printed? Why is the front image repeating itself on this narrow part?

thats odd. I went to your tie and was able to edit it to all black, no design on the back, yet the elephant image still shows. It's like the tie view is backwards

This has been a thing with ties for as long as I can remember. This post from Dec 2022 offers an explanation which seems to be correct.
I made a test tie to visualize things and it absolutely appears that what we see in the Design Tool for the Front layer is not actually the entire length of the tie. It's one half the length of the tie and the design we see is duplicated for both top & bottom halves.
Here's the test tie I made.
You can see that if you unfold the tie, it's the same design repeated on the top & bottom halves.
If you look at the buyer-submitted review pics, there is one that seems to show this is how they are actually printed, it's not a preview "glitch".
I only have a couple of ties and they all use an all-over pattern so in checking this I noticed something amiss with the previews that was never apparent to me before.
My circles here are individual elements. In the "In Situ" preview, the yellow circle is immediately below the knot but it's completely missing from the "Tied" preview. I don't think you can chalk this up to the knot being tied at a different length in each pic thus covering the yellow circle in the one because the pink & green circles look to be spaced the same in both pics. ???
