During my compliance check I noticed Passenger X did not have a mask on. Passenger X's face was covered with a hoodie. I asked Passenger X to put a mask on and the reply was 'no I will not.' Passenger X was going to use the hoodie because it was a barrier. Passenger X started to shout at me and continued to tell me the hoodie would stay on. Passenger X started to go on about how a mask doesn't protect anyone; so at that point I said I would be back right back. Because he wanted to escalate the situation I went up to tell the A Flight Attendant; she came back and explained to Passenger X the company's policy. Passenger X's wife [also] added that the mask doesn't protect anyone. In the middle of flight; he then again put a blanket on his head and the mask was completely off.
Flight Attendant reported a passenger did not comply with the face mask policy.
