Not all I found was about Celts. Leg lacings are probably more Saxon indeed, 
or Viking, although I have found reports of them being worn by Celts too. 
But it is something I would like to try. It should be the same procedure.
These are some of the sites I found informative and - loosely - used:
http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/contents.htm (and especially: 
http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/clothing2.htm)
http://www.efn.org/~celtic/celtic_looks.html
http://members.tripod.com/Preachan/kit1.html
http://www.visi.com/~norseman/patterns.html
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/calderon/clothing.htm
http://www.nwta.com/patterns/breeches.html

and this link I just found now on all sorts of clothing making:

Thank you! I shall add it to the collection of period clothing I am going to 
start. One never knows when things are needed  :-)
