“uncle shirt” on Etsy: should it be in your 13 tags?

Yes. At 85 out of 100, “uncle shirt” earns a place in your 13 tags.
The verdict
85 is 20 points above 65, the line from which Albavo says to use a tag.

What it means for your listing
Put “uncle shirt” in your tags as written: 61 searches for every 1,000 listings is a workable ratio of shoppers to listings. Timing matters: searches start climbing in September and peak in December, so the listing should be live before the climb.
How the score is calculated
≈ 0.088 purchases a month per 1,000 competing listings: 1,724 searches × 0.143% (median rate measured on 4 “high” terms) ÷ 28,147 listings.
That figure is placed on a fixed logarithmic scale: 0.0001 purchase a month per 1,000 listings scores 0, 0.3 scores 100. The same scale applies to every term, in the tool and here.
Demand, as measured
1,724 searches in 30 days: shoppers type it more than 1,000 times a month. That is 61 searches for every 1,000 listings: a reasonable level of competition. Etsy files its purchase rate under “high”, the second highest of the five tiers it publishes.

The season, over twelve months
Peak in December 2025 (5,717 searches), low in February 2026 (1,237): ×4.6 between the two. The climb starts in September: that is when the listing has to be online already, not at the peak. November, December and January alone bring 49% of the year's searches.
The current month, still incomplete, is drawn dotted and counts neither as peak nor as low. Monthly volumes read on Marketplace Insights on 29 October 2026.

What you will not see here
- Estimated sales: Etsy does not publish them, and an invented figure helps nobody.
- A figure without a date: a reading 30 days old or more says so itself.
- Which terms would do better than this one on your listing, or what your current tags are worth: that answer depends on your shop, so it lives in the tool.
