[Cannot Find Robes in Skyrim folder to mod]

Hello. long time skyrim player but recently dipped my toe into modding.
So... First i apologize for my Ignorance.
I have a STUPID Problem that i just cant seem to solve, been looking on google and forums for help but no dice.
I Cannot find where the game saved the Mesh for Mage robes!
I have been looking for about 2 weeks now on and off. I just cant find them, i expected them to be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data\meshes/Clothing (or Armor)
Nope! Not there or anywhere else i can find.
PLEASE help out a noob with a SILLY Question that is becoming highly frustrating.
Thank you

[Class/race/faction discussion]

Ok so me and my friend are starting. What are the two best classes and which are two that complement the other well. We plan on playing the whole thing together and I want our builds to complement each other cause it might just be us some of the time. So which race is best for these classes? And also which faction do you find the best or your favorite and why?

Oh I Agree, about Nightbalde Khijiit, My Khajiit Nightblade rocks so hard.

But my Imperial NB is good too, in general both seem to be excellent iMO, But Don't Imperials excel at EVERYtHING??
