Narrative:
I had a deadheading (DH) pilot and non-revenue (nr) pilot boarding at different times identification's on and refusing to wear masks. I asked both if they could please use their masks; both refused saying they were actively drinking!I addressed the nr pilot's X type wrap he had primarily around his shoulder; when I asked him to place it on [he] refused. I shared the requirements that went into effect. He said it does [meet the requirements]. Plus it looked like it was a weave similar to what we used to wear as kids to cover our mouths and neck in the midwest winters. Not a tight weave at all. I looked up the policy. It didn't say much about weave; so I went and apologized to him; only to have my head bit off more.this walking; talking while holding a cup of coffee is not actively drinking. The only active action is their germs being spread over the area and on us. Also showing passengers how to circumvent the procedure.DH pilot only had mask on for takeoff; but did not cover his nose. When I did my walk through I asked to have it please place over his mouth. He slumped down in his seat I was unable to see if complied with keeping his nose covered. The nr did not use mask until we were taxing into ZZZ.both kept using their drink and very very slowly eating as an excuse not to comply. Nr pilot after landing PA and I did my walkthrough had his bag pulled out from under his seat and had his ipad placed on top and was watching his program; mask off. I asked my B to handle it I didn't think my asking him to comply was the proper thing to do. She did; he moved his bag. B relayed to me later he said he was mad that everyone gives him a hassle about his wrap.I did all I was able to do. Tools are not in place to handle these situations.
