I just got a set of Draper 51720 ones. Very comprehensive set. Not expensive.

Measured up fine with a micrometer, I checked because one of them felt too thick compared to the one next to it. It was and measured as such too. I was all ready to send them back then finally found it had stuck very firmly to the one next to it appearing to be one piece. This sticking effect is a feature of extremely finely finished, very flat steel surfaces, I've come across it with gauge blocks before but never a feeler gauge. They did slide apart.

Those are straight ones. You also get angled feeler gauges with a 45 degree bend on the last half inch. These are sometimes easier to use for checking tappets.
