clean-cut
With the limited context provided, caution is recommended.
If the reference is to the style, then "clean-cut" would be my choice.
If the reference is to the fabric, then "pre-washed" is the standard expression.
Since you have access to the full context, you are in a much better position to decide than any of us.
