    We report on the measurement of the isotope shifts of the 3d74sa5 ⁣F53d74pz5 ⁣G6o3d^74s \,\, a \, {}^5\!F_5 - 3d^74p \,\, z \, {}^5\!G^o_6 Fe~I line at 358~nm between all four stable isotopes 54{}^{54}Fe, 56{}^{56}Fe, 57{}^{57}Fe and 58{}^{58}Fe, as well as the hyperfine structure of that line for 57{}^{57}Fe, the only stable isotope having a nonzero nuclear spin. This line is of primary importance for laser cooling applications. In addition, an experimental value of the field and specific mass shift coefficients of the transition is reported as well as the hyperfine structure magnetic dipole coupling constant AA of the transition excited state in 57^{57}Fe, namely A(3d74pz5 ⁣G6o)=31.241(48)A(3d^74p \,\, z \, {}^5\!G^o_6)=31.241(48) MHz. The measurements were carried out by means of laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy performed on an isotope-enriched iron atomic beam. All measured frequency shifts are reported with uncertainties below the third percent level.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
