Sound like anyone? Gaels were ostensibly La Tene Celts in terms of development when they came about (due to melding with Belgae, Gauls, and Britons), but had huge gouts of Hallstatt culture remaining, accounting for their clothing and numerous traditions. They were Celts, but not the common concept of Celts (which is the north-western European continental Celt; trousers, often shirtless or decked out in chain, with lots of longswords, oval shields, and such).
How could the Hallstatt culture have remained so prevalent among the Goidils?
