I have been trying to think of a way to describe the design of a
T-shirt without calling it that.  The problem is, I can think of
counter-examples that might also fit -- a "buttonless" garment might
still have lacings; as it stands now, the description might also refer
to a toga, or a blouse, for example.

If not a tube, perhaps tubelike?

A buttonless collection of shapeless tubes?

I am starting to think that "manifold" might be worked in after all...

Hm.

"and a buttonless {tubelike|manifold} design that slides over the
torso and arms"
