So my dwarves keep dropping clothes around the fort, and I have no idea why. All those that have rooms also have cabinets (though that's like 1/5 of my fort).

And they put them EVERYWHERE. my security door designed to redirect invadors was (and is) blocked by a whole wardrobe. 3 socks, a cap, a shoe, a cloak, and a few gloves. You can't lock that door, so it has been removed.

The same problem litters my hallways, dining room, danger rooms, studies, hallways, and so forth. Why do they do this, and how do I stop it?

Give everybody else bedrooms with storage capacity, so they'll move their claimed stuff there?

And make a nice big "finished goods" stockpile, so they can move all unowned stuff there.

I think most of the stuff he is talking about are owned items.  They will not be moved into a stockpile and can't be dumped.  About the only way to get those items out of the doorways would be to deconstruct the door and rebuild it.  Dwarves will move the items to build things as long as there is some space around it to drop the items.

This makes more sense, because I tried dumping them and the dwarves ignored it.

In that case, my first instruction applies. Give everybody bedrooms and storage space for their stuff, so they can put it away.

The dwarf civs won't pick up their dropped gear ever.  They have no uniform set.  The only way to get them to pick up those items would be to kill the dwarf that owns them.  But I am sure you would not want to do that to your Urist McSwordMaster.
