The word "canton" separately can refer to a subdivision of a country (e.g., in Switzerland) or a specific Chinese city (Guangzhou). The word "flannel" separately can refer to the fabric in general or, in British English, to a facecloth. However, canton flannel is a specific textile term and does not relate to these separate meanings.
This specific compound noun is a technical term and is not commonly used in idiomatic expressions or phrasal verbs.
