abc, a c-e, ox say
"Husbands of sisters"

a c-e has a sentence:
他们是连襟
their wives are sisters. or
They are brothers-in-law

gf, gh, moe also list it
moe also has a definition that says
衣襟相连,用以比喻极亲昵

21c's "brother-in-law" has this listed amongst others
==========================================
Editor: The way I read it, it can't just be any two brothers-in-law – they have to be *husbands of sisters*.
(I don't think it can be a (brother of a sister) and a (husband of the same sister).)
Diff:
# 連襟 连襟 [lian2 jin1] /brother-in-law/extremly close (of a relationship)/
+ 連襟 连襟 [lian2 jin1] /husbands of sisters/brothers-in-law/extremely close (of a relationship)/
