The Sioux men and boys wore deerskin shirts and leggings. When it was warm like in summer they would wear one strip of leather called a breechcloth, as well as a pair of shoes called moccasins. In the winter they would wear buffalo robes and snow shoes. The Sioux women and girls wore dresses and moccasins. Their clothes are decorated with elk teeth, bear claws, feathers, and fur.

Only indirectly. Buffalo hide, even from a female buffalo, is far too thick and stiff to make clothing except for moccasin soles, so breechclouts, leggings, shirts and dresses came from antelope, deer or elk skins (collectively called "buckskin" which is much thinner and can be tanned very soft). Making clothes out of buffalo hide would be similar to making clothes from very thick card.

The skins of buffalo (with hair left on) did make warm winter robes, often replaced by blankets when these became available from traders.

Buffalo hides were used for tipi covers, for shields, for making rawhide containers, rope and for bedding.

The Cheyenne women made clothing out of tanned deer or buffalo hide. They decorated their clothing with paint and dyed porcupine quills. Men wore breech cloths, leggins and a shirt. They wore buffalo hides in the cold or rain. The men also wore war bonnets made of eagle feathers. The women wore leggings and a dress down to the knees.

Sioux children would wear the skin or fur of animals that they killed such as deer, elk, and antelope. They would also add elk teeth and bear claws as decorations.
