If you're looking for clothing items which exist primarily to increase your personal storage by raising your max volume, you should proceed on to wearable containers.

Previously this page listed the max number of items certain vehicle parts or container-type furniture could contain. With the limit of 64 items per tile bumped to the considerably more generous 4096 items per tile, the only currently relevant limit to such storage is the max volume a vehicle part can hold (generally 400).

Container data

These items exist to store comestibles of various kinds. Most comestibles that spawn in buildings spawn within one of these objects, and some containers also rarely spawn by themselves (regular and 3-liter glass jars have a range of spawn rates for different areas).

To calculate how much gasoline can be stored in a container, multiply its capacity by 200. Example: a plastic jerrycan can hold 40 units of liquid, so it can store 8000 gasoline units (40 * 200 = 8000).

A quick rundown of container-only flags:
RIGID - Currently disabled. Conceptually, this would make flagged containers maintain the same volume no matter what is in them, while containers without this flag would calculate their volume by adding the base volume to the volume of the contents.
WATERTIGHT - An object without this flag is not suitable for storing liquid in. However...
SEALS - Currently, this flag is also required for an item to be able to store liquid.

Due to the way 'solid' and 'liquid' comestibles are currently handled, containers which do not have WATERTIGHT and SEALS set as flags are essentially useless for the purpose of player storage - there is currently no way to move solid items into containers, and those two flags are required for an item to be able to hold liquid. However, these items are still useful for the purpose of non-comestible crafting.
