just split it before '(' and you will get the output..

var pricevalue = "Basic Cotton Ultra ($20.05)";
pricevalue = pricevalue.split('(')[0].trim();
//output will be "Basic Cotton Ultr

Just use Regular expression to remove all the brackets and tex inside like bellow snippet : 

var result = "Basic Cotton Ultra ($20.05)".replace(/ *\([^)]*\) */g, "");
alert(result);
console.log(result)
