Let's say I'm a Thaumaturge. At level 6, I get the Scroll Esoterica feat, allowing me to create one free scroll of a level 1 spell per day. Let's say I then decide to start wearing Scroll Robes, which have the Inscribed trait.
Could I inscribe my free scroll from Scroll Esoterica onto my Scroll Robes?

The Inscribed trait doesn't make any mention of not being able to utilize temporary scrolls, so I don't see why not. A scroll is a scroll is a scroll.
That being said, the scroll would only last until the next time you make daily preparations, since it loses its magical potency. So you'd have to inscribe the new scroll after harmlessly expending the old one.

I'm pretty sure the answer is actually no.
The equipment, typically an armor or shield, has been treated so it can be inscribed with magical symbols using the same methods as Crafting a scroll. Inscribed attire can hold one scroll inscribed on it. You need a free hand to Activate the scroll, but you don't need to Interact to draw it. You can also Activate the magic to erase the scroll the equipment currently contains. You can't inscribe a new scroll onto the equipment if a scroll is currently inscribed on it or if the equipment is broken
In Scroll esoterica you don't actually craft the scroll, you just create it. Crafting is a specific process which has its own set of rules to follow. With the inscribed trait, you are crafting that scroll onto/into the item, but you actually have to make it per the normal rules.
The Library Robes, the specific item version of the Scroll Robes, illustrate this requirement well.
These +1 resilient scroll robes magically store a spell for you. During your daily preparations, choose one spell you know of 5th level or lower. You inscribe that spell on the robes, as though you had done so using the robes' inscribed trait, but without needing to go through the normal scribing process. You must provide the minimum amount of materials to Craft one scroll of that spell (typically half the Price of a scroll of that level plus any extra cost required for the spell). You don't need to be trained in Crafting, nor do you need the Magical Crafting feat. Using this ability erases any scroll already inscribed on the robe.
So a pseudo-version of the functionality you want may be found in the Library Robes, even if you have to pay for it, but the base Scroll Robes require you to actually craft the scroll as if it was just a plain old scroll.
