I think it is the color mostly, as it just does not glow like the others, but also the style is not as well, stylish.
Did you get it thinking you liked gray, or is it a neutral that is the only thing that works with certain colors? A seasonal use is the main thing I'd try to remember--as in, fall or winter outfits if you would not wear the white. Sometimes I toss things out of season. But otherwise I think even then, you would prefer just a different jacket.
The other purging concept I'm trying to remember is, I can only wear so many things. So if something isn't useful enough, or a specific outfit-maker for a special occasion, then I realize I don't have to wear it from time to time to justify keeping it. I can just do without it and the sky will not fall in but I'll have more space and not be pestered by something not really in rotation.
I really like how you line things up and juxtapose to see which to keep, what you're comparing it to. I need to do more of that.
