straight cut

No angles involved

Straight cut describes something cut in a direct line rather than at an angle or with curves.

In clothing, straight cut means a garment hangs without tapering or flaring: straight cut jeans, a straight cut skirt.

The term also applies to tobacco that's been sliced into long, thin strips rather than shredded or flaked.
