Default OT word of the day

Is there any essential difference between cotton flannel, as described
here, and what we call 'brushed cotton' do you think?
I've often wondered.

Flannel

A light to medium weight woven fabric with a soft, slightly napped
surface . Expensive flannels of wool and wool blends are usually
napped and fulled whereas less expensive flannels of cotton and other
fibers are usually just napped.
Cotton flannel is most commonly found as a plain weave fabric, as are
many lighter flannels. Wool or wool blend flannel may also be a plain
weave but is also sold in twill weave, for example as in suiting
flannel.
