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.
